Main Ingredients

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through.
  3. Push the chicken to one side of the skillet, add mixed vegetables to the other side, and sauté until tender.
  4. Move the chicken and vegetables to the side, crack eggs into the skillet, and scramble until fully cooked.
  5. Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet and stir to combine all ingredients.
  6. Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, stirring to evenly coat, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Notes

For a vegan version, swap chicken for chickpeas and eggs for tofu or a flax egg. Add coconut milk for a tropical twist or Sriracha for extra heat. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
