One of our favorite meals is Chicken Stir-fri. We make a lot at a time so that we can portion it out in different containers and heat it up for lunch. I put a lot of meat in it because my husband and I lift weights. This way we can get more protien. Not to mention I can't drink most protein powers because I am lactose intolerant.
Brown Rice (2 cups water for every cup of rice = 2 cups rice)
2.5 lbs Chicken breast tenderloins (I use frozen chicken)
2 bags of frozen stir-fri veggies (choose whichever is your favorite)
Your choice of sauce (We like Teriyaki)
The first thing I do is cook the rice. It takes about 45 minutes to cook brown rice plus the time to boil the water, so I start the rice well in advance. Cut the chicken into cubes and put in hot pan. Once the chicken turns white on the outside I add a little sauce. Once it is cooked, drain off the excess liquid. You can add the veggies to the chicken but the pan gets too full so I cook it serperatly and add it together in the end. Cook veggies until they are thowed. Add sauce to taste.
