Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Cooked Rice
  • 2 Chicken Breast
  • 1 16 Oz Frozen Broccoli
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Summer Squash
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Dried Parsley
  • 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cut 2 boneless chicken breasts into cubes and place in a large bowl to season. Season your chicken with salt and pepper to taste, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp dried parsley. Mix the chicken with the seasonings to evenly distribute.
  • Place seasoned chicken into a hot pan with a little olive oil. Preferably a cast iron pan like this one but any pan will do. Cook chicken until done and remove from pan.
  • At this point it's time to cook your veggies of choice! I say that because I never use the same veggies every time. I use whatever we have on hand at that moment. You can use summer squash, cabbage, broccoli, corn, zucchini, peas and carrots the options are limitless here. However for the sake of the recipe today I will be using summer squash, broccoli, garlic and onion.
  • Put a little more olive oil into your hot cast iron pan, while that is heating up chop all your veggies to your desired size. place veggies into the cast iron pan and cook until done.
  • Remove cooked veggies from pan and put with cooked chicken. Put a little more olive oil to your hot pan and add in desired amount of cooked rice. This is really up to you but I would recommend around 3 cups of cooked rice. While your rice is toasting in your pan poor in 3 Tbsp of Soy Sauce and 1 Tbsp or Sesame Oil. Stir in pan to mix well. Let your rice continue to toast for a few minutes. Then add back in your cooked chicken and veggies.
  • Stir to combined and enjoy! This recipe makes for great leftovers and is even more delicious the next day.
