Ingredient Checklist

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup cold water plus 2 tablespoons, divided
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic plus 2 sliced garlic cloves, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 cup green beans

Directions



  • Step 1

Add sliced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add the broccoli and green beans. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Stir in kale and add the remaining 2 tablespoons water. Cover and steam until the vegetables are tender-crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Step 5
  • Slice the chicken.
  • Step 6
  • To serve, divide rice and the vegetables among 4 bowls and top with the chicken. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and sprinkle with cilantro.
