Nana's Stir-Fry

Years back when I was still working outside the home, a friend of mine made this for me.  I loved it so much that I started making it myself.

Over the years, I've changed the recipe up a bit.  She used frozen veggies, while I love using fresh ones.  And with a few more changes here and there, I've revised this recipe to my own personal liking.

It's one of my personal favorites, and I never get tired of it!  And...it's pretty healthy for you, too! 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!


Ingredients:

1 Lg. box of Zatarain’s Yellow Rice

2 T. of Olive Oil

2-3 Chicken Breasts (Cut into bite-size pieces)

1 Bunch of fresh broccoli

1 Red Bell Pepper

1 Green Bell Pepper

1 Yellow Bell Pepper

1 pkg. of fresh sliced mushrooms

2 T. Minced Garlic

Teriyaki Sauce

Worcestershire Sauce


Directions:

1)  Cut raw chicken into bite size pieces – about the size of your thumb, then set aside;

2)  Cut vegetables into bite size pieces.  (You can leave the broccoli stems, if you like, or just use the crowns.)  Set veggies aside;

3)  Cook rice as directed on the box for the serving size you wish;

4)  Pour oil into skillet or wok, and mix in your garlic;

5)  When oil is hot, add chicken, and a bit of Soy and Worcestershire Sauce (Use to your liking);

6)  When chicken is no longer pink and lightly browned, remove from pan;

7)  Add veggies, mushrooms, and enough Teriyaki and Worcestershire Sauce to stir fry in.  Add a little water, if necessary;

8)  Add the chicken back to the pan, cover and simmer until veggies are tender.  (Unless you prefer them crisper.)  Serve over rice.

(Note:  I have also tried this recipe with a little brown sugar added; both are yummy!)
