Veggie-Packed Chicken Fried Rice
- 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
- 1 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, Chopped Into Small Chunks
- 1 ear Corn, Kernels Cut From The Cob (or 1/2 Cup Frozen Corn Kernels For 1 Ear Of Fresh)
- 1/2 cups Frozen Peas, Thawed
- 6 Baby Carrots Chopped
- 7 Snow Peas, Cut Into 1 Inch Pieces
- 1/2 cups Chopped Broccoli
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1/2 Tablespoons Fresh Ginger, Minced
- 1 Egg, Beaten With Below Amount Of Oil
- 1 teaspoon Oil
- 2 cups Cooked Brown Rice, Preferably Day Old
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Scallions, Thinly Sliced
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Add the oil into a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chunks of chicken and season with salt and pepper.
- Saute until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and put it onto a plate.
- Add all of your vegetables (corn through broccoli) into the wok.
- Feel free to use any vegetables you like or have on hand.
- I keep a variety stocked in my fridge and freezer so I threw in a little bit of everything.
- You could easily sub a bag of mixed frozen vegetables for fresh if youre short on time time.
- If you do this, just be sure to defrost them first.
- Saute the veggies until tender, 2-3 minutes.
- If they seem to be taking a while to cook through, you can put a lid on the pan to speed things up.
- They should only need another minute or two.
- Next, add the garlic and ginger.
- I use a micro-plane to grate mine in so there arent any large chucks in the fried rice.
- Stir to combine and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
- Move the vegetables to the side of the wok.
- Quickly whisk the egg and oil together in a small bowl and add it into the wok.
- Stir to softly scramble the egg, about a minute.
- Once the vegetables and egg have finished cooking, return the chicken to the pan along with the rice.
- Pour the soy sauce over it all and stir to combine.
- Finish with the scallions.
- Serve!
