Chicken Stir Fry

So when we went on this diet, frozen pizza went out the window for our weekly meal to feed our babysitter and kids for Date Night. One Friday night I was looking for something I could throw together for my kids and sitter. I had a few vegetables, rice and a chicken breast. This ended up being the creation. Now nearly every Friday night I make stir fry. It takes me 30 minutes total.





Chicken Stir Fry
Prep time 10 minutes Cook Time 30 minutes Serves 4

1 cup uncooked brown rice
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp sesame oil
4 Tbsp organic tamari soy sauce
2 carrots shaved and sliced
1 cup sugar snap peas
4 scallions slices
1 small head of broccoli
8 oz slice mushrooms
2 chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes

Start rice following directions on box and cook for 30 minutes or until all water is absorbed. In a large skillet heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil. Toss in the chicken, add 1/2 the soy sauce. Cook for about 3-4 minutes then add all your vegetables. Add the other 1/2 of soy sauce and cook till caramelized, about 5 minutes. Serve over rice, add additional soy sauce to taste.
