ASIAN CHICKEN AND BROWN RICE

I sometimes fall into the mundane food routine. I like to make suppers that the kids will enjoy that won't take too long to fix. I found this delicious recipe online from the Mayo clinic, and it should only take a few minutes to throw together.  See what you think!  diet.mayoclinic.org.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1/2 Cups instant brown rice
  •  1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 pound stir-fry veggies, about 5 cups
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce (or soy sauce if you're Kelly)

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook the brown rice as directed on the package. Once it's done, reserve 2 cups of cooked rice. Cool and refrigerate in an airtight container for another meal for the next evening.

Place a 12 inch skillet over medium to high heat. Add oil and chicken. Sitr-fry for 2 minutes.

Add the vegetables and garlic, stir-frying for an additional 3 minutes or until vegetables are firm, yet tender, and chicken is no longger pink in the cneter.

Add hoisin sauce to the chicken mixture. Stir and simmer for 1 minute.

Divide rice among 4 plates and top with the stir fry. This recipe serves 4 people.
