## Instructions

1. Remove the florets from two heads of broccoli using a sharp pairing knife.
2. Trim the broccoli stems and cut into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are uniform in size.
3. Wash 250g of green beans, remove the ends, and chop in half (optional).
4. Cut two lemons in half and juice them, ensuring no seeds get in.
5. In a bowl, combine 125ml of chicken stock, three minced garlic cloves, the juice of two lemons, 80g of honey (microwaved for 20 seconds), 2.5g of onion powder, 30ml of soy sauce, 10ml of sesame oil, and 12g of corn flour.
6. Whisk until all ingredients are combined and the corn flour is broken down.
7. Season with sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper to taste, then whisk again to combine.
8. In a large saucepan over high heat, combine 350g of washed basmati rice and 700ml of cold water.
9. Add salt to taste, mix to prevent clumping, and bring to a boil.
10. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 14 minutes undisturbed, then leave with the lid on for a final four minutes before fluffing with a fork.
11. In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 30ml of olive oil. Add the prepared broccoli and stems, season with sea salt flakes, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly golden brown.
12. Add the green beans and continue sautéing for another three minutes, mixing regularly.
13. Add 80ml of water, cover, and steam for 2 minutes before removing the lid and mixing.
14. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a bowl, reserving the pan.
15. In the same pan over high heat, add 20ml of olive oil and add the 1kg diced chicken thighs. Spread evenly and season with sea salt flakes.
16. Cook regularly for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and browned. Mix thoroughly.
17. Add the sauce mixture, mix for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until it comes to a boil and thickens.
18. Add 5g of white and black sesame seeds (optional). Check seasoning with sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper.
19. Mix for about 20 seconds until the sauce is completely thick.
20. Portion 210g of rice, 130g of vegetable mix, and 200g of lemon chicken into each of the five meal prep containers.
21. Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the rice (optional).
