Chicken Fried Rice
Ingredients
1/2 pound pre-cooked chicken breast (leftovers are wonderful!)
1/2 cup shoestring styled cut raw carrots (you know the string cut ones mmm)
1/2 cup super finely chopped/dice broccoli raw or thawed frozen
1/2 a small yellow onion finely chopped
1/2 cup of frozen yellow corn (or if your like me almost the whole bag because I love corn)
1 can chicken stock (try low sodium due to the contents of the soy sauce, trying to watch our intake)

1 tablespoon finely mince garlic (mmm or a little if your not a garlic lover)
1 tablespoon finely mince garlic (mmm or a little if your not a garlic lover)
1/4 cup soy sauce (I use Kikkomans mmmm)
1 tablespoon of olive oil (extra virgin is the best) or 1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon of olive oil (extra virgin is the best) or 1 tablespoon butter
1 boil bag of rice (or 2 cups of cooked white or brown rice)
Preperation
About two to three hours before you plan on eating (longer if you have the time) prepare the rice. Why so early? The rice needs to slightly "dry out" again from being cooked, the longer you can give it time back in the fridge the better. To do this we're going to add 1 can of chicken stock and 1/2 cup of water to a sauce pan (you may need a little more water). Following the directions for your boil bag rice, drop the bag of rice into the stock/water combo and let it boil until the rice is tender. Once the rice has finished boiling, removing from the stock water combo and set it in a bowl over a paper towel to cool. Once cooled replace in a covered dish in fridge (still in bag still on a new paper towel to absorb any excessive moisture).
About a half hour until dinner, take either the olive oil or the butter and add to a pan to become hot. Once hot add in carrots, corn and broccoli and let them heat and tenderize. This can take up to ten minutes sometimes (I swear raw broccoli hates me while I cook it).. About half way done with the sauteeing add in onions and garlic to let them sweat (add these last so they dont burn). Once the vegetables are properly heated, add in the diced up chicken breast, the soy sauce and rice. Watching and stirring constantly so it does not burn. Once everything is properly heated through, turn off heat and enjoy!
