Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • A large skillet
  • A pot with a lid for cooking rice
  • A cutting board
  • A sharp knife
  • A measuring cup and spoons
  • A mixing bowl for marinating the chicken
  • A wooden spoon or spatula for stirring

Method

  1. Begin by marinating the chicken. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with soy sauce, ginger powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat and set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. In the meantime, cook the rice. Rinse the rice thoroughly and place it in a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for about 18-20 minutes or until the water has completely absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
  5. Add the diced bell pepper, chopped carrots, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Once everything is cooked, add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  7. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!
