Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 cups cooked brown rice (or white rice)
• 1½ cups mixed vegetables (like zucchini, onion, and carrot)
• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp light sesame oil (or canola oil)
• 1 tsp garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, minced
• 1 egg (optional, for fried rice style)
• 1 tbsp chopped scallions, for garnish
• Pinch of sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

2. Sauté the Veggies
In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, and mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.

3. Add the Rice & Egg
Push vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the egg into the empty side (if using). Scramble until cooked, then mix into vegetables. Stir in cooked rice and soy sauce, tossing to combine.

4. Finish and Serve
Return cooked chicken to the skillet and mix everything together. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
