Brown Rice Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry

Again we came to the predicament where we had veggies and chicken in the fridge that we needed to hurry up and eat, so we created this tasty dish!

I cooked three chicken breasts on the stove in some vegetable oil and seasoned it with some seasoning salt. We cut the broccoli and squash and stuck them on the stove with veggie oil, and a little later we dumped the chicken and rice in to heat it all up and mix the flavors in. We had leftover brown rice in the fridge, so we just used that.

Brown rice is actually really good! Andrew and I decided that we prefer brown rice over white rice because it has a great texture and it tastes good. We found a cheap bag of it at the grocery store and thought we'd give it a try. And brown rice is 100% whole grain, so this dish is wonderfully suited for the Harvard food pyramid!



We added just a tiny bit of teriyaki sauce, salt, and pepper the first time, but when we had it for leftovers we decided the teriyaki sauce was enough flavor and ditched the salt and pepper.

We will definitely make brown rice stir fry again and try out some different vegetables and protein options! Let me know if you come up with any tasty combinations!
