Instructions
Make the Sauce: Whisk chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a bowl. Set aside.
Sear Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear in batches over medium-high heat with vegetable oil until golden and crisp, about 5–6 minutes per side.
Glaze Chicken: Return all chicken to the pan, pour in sauce, and simmer until thick and sticky, about 7–10 minutes.
Cook Broccolini: In a separate pan, sauté broccolini in sesame oil until tender-crisp, 4–5 minutes. Season lightly.
Prepare Cauliflower Rice: Cook two batches or use pre-prepped cauliflower rice. Sauté with olive oil and a pinch of salt for 5–6 minutes.
Assemble Bowls: Divide rice, broccolini, and chicken into 8 containers. Top with sesame seeds and scallions.
