Before You Start
Cube the chicken, cut the broccoli into florets, rinse the spinach, mince the garlic, and warm the rice so the bowl comes together the moment the chicken is done.
How To Make It
- Sear the chicken in a hot pan over medium high, 6 to 8 minutes, until golden and it reaches 165°F in the center with no pink, adding the garlic for the last minute, then set it aside.
- Steam the broccoli in a covered pan with a splash of water, 3 to 4 minutes, until bright green and just tender.
- Add the spinach and cook, 2 to 3 minutes, until it wilts down.
- Toss the chicken and vegetables with the coconut aminos, sesame oil, and rice vinegar off the burner so they coat without burning.
- Serve over the brown rice with a scatter of sesame seeds.
Fix It: If the chicken browns too fast on the outside, drop the heat to medium, because it needs time to reach 165°F without charring.
Air Fryer
- Heat the air fryer to 380F.
- Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
- Cook for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
- Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
Microwave
- Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
- Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
- Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
