This one-pot meal is a great way to use leftover rice and/or chicken. You can use egg or shrimp instead of the chicken. The type of vegetables can vary depending on what you have on hand. You just need 2 cups of vegetables in total. A good combination is mushroom, peas, carrots, cabbage, and green onion.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 cup boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 2 teaspoons freshly chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons freshly chopped ginger
- 2 cups of chopped vegetables (for example: 1/2 cup chopped or shredded cabbage, 1/4 cup chopped carrots, and 1/4 cup peas)
- 3-5 chopped green onions
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
Directions
- In a wok add ½ tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and let it cook, approximately 5-6 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken and set aside. (If using leftover cooked chicken, just heat slightly)
- In the same wok add the remaining olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the chopped green onions and other vegetables.
- Cook on high heat for approximately 5 minutes.
- Once the vegetables are tender, add the cooked rice and chicken and toss again on medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce and toss to combine.

This looks simply delish. I love that it is a one pot meal. I can’t wait to try it.
I think the size of chicken breasts has changed dramatically since Julia Child’s day, which could account for some of her shorter cook time.
I have been pre-cooking ground beef for a long time – it is just so much easier to do it once and be done with if for a while. Sometimes I cook a batch that is just plain ground beef – and then I’ll do another batch and add green peppers and onions. I also store mine in freezer zip lock bags due to the storage issue – much easier to store flat.
