# Instructions:
01 -
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.

In a frying pan, heat up sesame oil and cook the chicken until it's brown. It will take around 12-15 minutes.
03 -
While the chicken is cooking, mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
04 -
Remove the cooked chicken and add the sauce to the empty frying pan. Cook the sauce until it thickens, stirring throughout. It will take around 5-10 minutes.
05 -
Add the cooked chicken back into the frying pan and stir all the ingredients together to coat the chicken. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and sesame seeds.
06 -
While cooking the chicken, cook the rice. Wash the rice and add it to a saucepan, then pour in the water. Add some salt. Bring the rice to boil and reduce to simmer for 10 minutes. Make sure you cover the saucepan with a lid. Let it sit for another 10 minutes (make sure you cook the rice as per instructions on the packet). Fluff your rice and leave it be.
07 -
Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt. Wash the broccoli, cut away the stems from the crown, and slice your florets into pieces. Add florets into the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Remove and drain your broccoli.

Divide rice into 4 meal prep containers, and divide the orange chicken and broccoli. Your meal prep is ready! Keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days and reheat before eating.
