Easy Chicken Stir-FryThis one's for you, Jack. And it's all in one pan so it's all ready at the same time! It should take you only about 30 minutes to do this, including all the cutting.
Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken tenders, cut in bite-sized pieces
1 sm. can sliced water chestnuts
1 sm. white onion, chopped
1 bunch green onions (scallions), sliced
1 package cooked brown rice (the kind you boil in the bag - I use Success)
1/2 cup frozen baby green peas
Garlic Powder
Fresh ground black pepper
Sea Salt
Teriyaki sauce
Soy sauce
1-2 Tablespoons canola oil
Heat your skillet to med-high, coating the bottom of the pan with your canola oil (I use closer to two tablespoons, but it's a matter of taste). Sautee all the onions in the oil with sea salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken and season to taste with more salt, pepper, and garlic powder (I usually do one layer of sprinkle with the garlic powder, you can do more if you like). After you add the chicken, start your water to boil for the rice.
When chicken is lightly browned on all sides, drain and add water chestnuts, teriyaki sauce and soy sauce to taste (I usually add twice as much teriyaki as soy sauce and it seems to work out). Simmer, uncovered, while the rice boils. A couple minutes before the rice is done, add the frozen peas and stir; continue simmering for 2-4 minutes. Add the rice, stir, and simmer a couple minutes more and you're done.
Good eatin' and easy, trust me. The best part is you get to decide how you want it...spicy or mild, saucy or not. You can add any other veggies you choose....I figured I should put something green in there and at least try to give Scytheboy part of his daily quota at dinner.
Sorry, no pictures. It was gone before I thought to post the recipe.

Ok, finally got to this recipe. I did change it a bit (used white rice), but it was definitely easy and delicious. I can see making it even easier with some of those frozen stir-fry veggies (but it would not be as good). I added some zip with Asian chili sauce. I was not sure how much of the teriyaki and soy sauce to add, so for my portions, I used a tablespoon of soy and 2 for teriyaki. Enough to coat and then some for the rice to soak up :)
Thanks for thinking about me and my recipe drive.
Have a great weekend!
