Stir (Fry) It Up

The vegetables and chicken cook together in this (nearly) one-pot dish. Stir-fry the ingredients so that the heat evenly distributes. Cook for about 5 minutes until the ingredients are slightly caramelized. To steam softer vegetables, add some water to the pan. We recommend using vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, mushrooms, carrots, or leftovers. Feel free to add frozen veggies or leftovers from last night.

For this recipe, you can use grilled chicken breast strips from the store or marinate your thin chicken strips in teriyaki sauce. (Or the sauce of your choice) Cook them in a pan before adding them to the stir-fry.

Add some spicy peppers, hot sauce or chillies to turn the heat up a notch on your chicken and rice stir-fry. Adding one of these at the beginning of the cooking process, in this case, along with the vegetables, distributes their flavours throughout the dish. If you’re a fan of using eggs in fried rice or stir-fries, crack in 2 eggs and stir after adding the chicken and sauce.
