1 tablespoonsesame oil

1/2 lb boneless skinless

1 tablespooncanola oil

3 cloves garlic, peeled and

3 cups dark leafy greens,

such as spinach, chinese
broccoli, or kale

1 cup cooked whole

grains, such as rice or
quinoa

1 tablespoon toasted
sesame seeds
Directions
1
In a small bowl, mix
together half of the soy
sauce, half of the tahini,
half of the honey, and the
sesame oil until evenly
combined. Pour over
chicken and let marinate
for 10 minutes (while you
prepare the other
ingredients).
2
Bring a large pot of salted
water to a boil.
3
While the water is boiling,
wash, trim, and roughly
chop the greens.
4
Add greens to the boiling
water and cook for 1-2
minutes, just until bright
green. Drain and run

under cold water to stop

cooking. Set aside.
Heat the canola oil in a
frying pan over medium
heat. Add garlic and saut
for 1-2 minutes, just until
fragrant.
Add chicken and marinade
to pan. Cook chicken for 2
minutes on each side, or
until it's cooked all the way
through (check the largest
piece to make sure there's
no pink in the middle).
Once chicken is cooked,
add the rice (or whatever
you're using as a grain)
and stir to coat with the
sauce.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until
rice is sticky and
caramelized in some

places. Remove from heat

and stir the greens into the
rice and chicken.
Whisk together the
remaining soy sauce,
tahini, and honey. Drizzle
over the top of the
chicken-rice-greens
mixture. Serve hot.
