Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups brown rice
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • salt and pepper

  • Soy sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook brown rice.
  • Cut up the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat ½ tablespoon canola oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken and stir fry for 5-6 minutes, until almost done.

  • Add remaining ½ tablespoon canola oil.
  • Add frozen vegetables and stir fry 3-4 minutes, until heated through and crisp-tender.
  • Return chicken to wok or skillet.
  • Add stir fry sauce and mix everything well to distribute the sauce.
  • Reduce heat to low and let simmer until chicken is cooked through and you're ready to serve.
  • Serve stir fry and extra sauce over rice.

Notes

Rice: We love brown rice, but white rice or basmati rice works great, too. You could even use a quick cook rice or frozen rice to make this recipe even faster.
Chicken: I always go with boneless, skinless chicken breasts but you could also substitute chicken thighs or use a mix if you'd like.
Frozen Veggies: We use an entire 1-pound bag for two adults cause I like LOTS of veggies. You could certainly stretch it to use it for 4 people. Or add any extra veggies you have in your fridge or freezer (broccoli, peppers, snow peas, carrots). Or use 2 bags of frozen veggies and load up like me! And feel free to pick whatever mix of frozen veggies you like best.
Stir Fry Sauce: I use House of Tsang’s classic stir fry sauce and love it. You can also sub a different brand, or go for a spicy or flavored stir fry sauce; whatever you enjoy most!
Soy Sauce: You can serve extra soy sauce at the table if anyone wants more.
