Basic Chicken Stir Fry

 

This is the perfect dinner when you need something to eat quickly. It also works well if you have time earlier to prep the rice. Change out the vegetables to whatever leftovers you have on hand or use a frozen bag of mixed veggies to make it even easier. Make sure to buy gluten free soy sauce or tamari sauce to make this gluten free.

Ingredients
3 cups of cooked rice (about 1 cup dry)

2-3 cups of cooked chicken, cubed or shredded
4 Tbsp oil, divided
1 tsp sesame oil
8 oz frozen or fresh broccoli florets
1 bell pepper, diced
1 medium carrot, shredded
2 eggs, scrambled
2 Tbsp gluten free soy sauce or tamari sauce

Directions

1. Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a cast iron skillet or wok until very hot, around 400-435°F. Add broccoli, shredded carrot and bell pepper and cook, stirring constantly for about one minute or until the broccoli and bell pepper are just starting to cook. Place in a bowl and set aside.

2. Heat up 1 Tbsp of oil in the cast iron or wok and scramble the egg. Remove to a bowl and break into small pieces.

3. Heat up the remaining oil and sesame oil and add the rice. Fry for about 3-5 minutes and then add the chicken and soy sauce. Fry about 3 more minutes. Add the veggies and egg and stir until heated through. Serve immediately!
