The Lighter Side of Sesame Chicken

I'm trying to keep meals on the light side as we get closer to the holidays. My daughter just arrived home for the holidays so I decided to make Chinese food tonight. It's one of her favorites. I serve this with brown jasmine rice instead of white.

Serves 6

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks
4 tbsp honey
2tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp sesame seeds plus more for serving
4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds of fresh broccoli cut into florets
4 green onions, sliced
salt
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tbsp corn starch

Cook rice according to package directions. In a small bowl mix together the honey, sesame oil, 3 tbsp sesame seeds,garlic and soy sauce. Set aside. Place the broccoli in a large pot or skillet with a lid. Add the water and salt. Bring to a boil,place the lid on and steam for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and turn off the heat. Drain if necessary. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the chicken and cook until browned. Add the broccoli and the soy/honey sauce. Toss to coat. Mix the chicken stock and corn starch together in a small bowl and pour over the chicken and broccoli. Stir to coat and until the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat and stir in the green onions. Serve over rice and garnish with more sesame seeds.
