Chicken Stir Fryyy

I'm on to something epic you guys!

Chicken Stir Fry Amazingness! I totally ran with this idea after reading Krista's Blog and being inspired from her version of this dish. I went a little Green crazy and created this YUMMY, Filling, Powerhouse of a meal!



I made a HUGE amount on Tuesday night for dinner and the rest of the weeks lunches. Another great thing about this is that it seems to keep tasting better every time I eat it and that is fantastic that I am not burnt out on it yet because I have been eating it everyday.

Here's my version:

1 white onion
8 Chicken tenders
Soy Sauce
Olive Oil
Brown Rice
1 Bag frozen Broccoli
2 Eggs
1 Bunch of Kale
Salt & Butter

How to make: The very first step is to start cooking the brown rice. Follow the instructions in your rice cooker or on the stove for the amount you want. I cooked about 4 cups of brown rice. Then you have to cook the chicken. I like to take a frying pan and put enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Get the cpan & oil hot and the place the chicken tenders into the pan. *Be careful the oil will pop you like a pissed off momma* season the chicken with a little salt let cook for about 5 mins then flip the chicken to cook the other side. Let cook 3 mins or so and then remove chicken from pan to cut up into bite size chunks. Add cut chicken back into the pan to finish browning. At that time add Soy Sauce. You can add as much or as little as you like, we like Soy Sauce in our Family so I added about 2 tbsp. Cook the Soy into the chicken for a few mins (maybe 3 I'm eyeballing it people) Take chicken off heat and set aside.

The next step is dicing up the Onion and cooking it. I placed the chicken back into low heat, add the diced onion, and added a little more Olive Oil and butter to the pan (about 1 tbsp) drizzled on top of the onions with a little salt and soy too. (just quick splashes this is optional to your liking!) On low heat I slowly let the onions cook with the chicken for about 5 mins. Leave this pan on low heat for the rest of the cooking!

The next step is cooking your frozen broccoli. I used a steamer bag and just microwaved it according to the directions. Once that was done I added it to the Chicken,Onions, and Kale.

(IF you wanna pack this baby out with green veggies add Kale. This is what I did right before the broccoli step. I had a bunch of Kale that I separated from the stems and washed then dried the leaves. I then cut it into bite sized chunks and added to the chicken and onions before the broccoli so it could cook down a little bit. My pan was over flowing for a few mins until it cooked down.)

While that cooked I fried up 2 scrambled eggs and once they were done added them to the chicken and veggies. Then came time for the fun part: adding more soy sauce and salt to the pan to get the mixture tasting like I wanted it to. Everyone is different so start adding slowly that way you don't go overboard and can get it to your personal liking.

Cook that on low heat until your rice is ready. Once your rice is ready drain any remaining water from it and then dump it into the chicken and veggie pot. Add more Soy if you want and TA DA it's done!
