# Chicken Stir Fry
|
|
|
|
This recipe was made up by my fiancé and I. We just sorta winged it every time
|
|
we made it until we found something that was easy to cook and tasty. We make
|
|
this every week or so.
|
|
|
|
## Recipe
|
|
|
|
### Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- Pack of 4 chicken breasts
|
|
- A fair amount of Montreal seasoning (garlic, onion, salt, oregano)
|
|
- 3 cups basmati rice
|
|
- 3.75 cups water
|
|
- 1/4th bag of frozen stir fry vegetables
|
|
- Avocado/coconut oil
|
|
- Standard frying pan
|
|
- Standard chef's knife
|
|
- Standard 11x14 cutting board
|
|
- Two metal bowls
|
|
- Instant Pot
|
|
- Spatula
|
|
|
|
### Seasoning
|
|
|
|
Put the seasoning in one of the bowls and unwrap the plastic around the chicken
|
|
breasts. Take each chicken breast out of the package (you may need to cut them
|
|
free of eachother, use a sharp knife for that) and rub all sides of it around in
|
|
the seasoning.
|
|
|
|
Put these into the other metal bowl and when you've done all four, cover with
|
|
plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 5-6 hours.
|
|
|
|
Doing this helps to have the chicken soak up the flavor of the seasoning so it
|
|
tastes better when you cook it.
|
|
|
|
### Cooking
|
|
|
|
Slice two chicken breasts up kinda like
|
|
[this](https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/04/knife-skills-how-to-slice-chicken-breast-for-stir-fries.html)
|
|
and then transfer to the heated pan with oil in it. Cook those and flip them
|
|
every few minutes until you've cooked everything all the way through (random
|
|
sampling by cutting a bit of chicken in half with the spatula and seeing if it's
|
|
overly juicy or not is a good way to tell, or if you have a food thermometer to
|
|
165 degrees fahrenheit or 75 degrees celsius). Put this chicken into a plastic
|
|
container for use in other meals (it goes really good on sandwiches).
|
|
|
|
Then repeat the slicing and cooking for the last two chicken breasts. However,
|
|
this time put _half_ of the chicken into the plastic container you used before
|
|
(about one chicken breast worth in total, it doesn't have to be exact). At the
|
|
same time as the second round of chicken is cooking, put about 3 cups of rice
|
|
and 3.75 cups of water into the instant pot; then seal it and set it to manual
|
|
for 4 minutes.
|
|
|
|
Dump frozen vegetables on top of the remainder of the chicken and stir until the
|
|
vegetables are warm.
|
|
|
|
### Serving
|
|
|
|
Serve the stir fry hot on a bed of rice.
