Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)

  • 1 cup chopped fresh vegetables (carrots, peas, bell peppers)
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

  2. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more oil if necessary and stir-fry chopped vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.

  4. Season: Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture. Toss to coat every grain of rice evenly. Add sliced green onions.
