Chicken Teriyaki Stir-Fry with Brown Rice - 30 minute meal :)

I love the idea of stir fry, because if you do it right, the vegetables retain their nutrient values.
I also love Pei Wei, but can't always afford to eat out.  So I decided to recreate Pei Wei's chicken teriyaki with brown rice bowl at home.  It turned out pretty good and it's fairly simple!

Ingredients:
5 Chicken breast tenderloins (grilled)
Green Beans (fresh)
Broccoli
Scallions
Yellow onion
Carrot
Garlic
Bok Choy
Sesame Seeds
Olive Oil
Coarse Seat Salt
Teriyaki Sauce (use your favorite brand - the thick kind, or make your own)

Brown Rice - 1.5 cups of brown rice to 4 cups of water

Directions:

Begin cooking the brown rice according to directions.  I usually add extra water and let it simmer for a while because I like it softer. As the rice is cooking...

Grill the chicken - adding teriyaki sauce to it as it grills, the cut it in strips and set aside.

Chop your veggies (I use a thin slicing mandolin for the carrots and medium slice for the onions - the rest I chop by hand)


Put some oil and coarse sea salt into your large pan.  Heat it medium high

Add broccoli, carrots, and green beans and stir fry for about 2 minutes - moving them constantly.

Add onions, garlic, and bok choy, and saute' another 2 minutes.

Add the chicken.

Stir fry for another 2 minutes and add teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds.


The rice should be finished by the time the chicken is grilled and veggies are cooked
Plate it and serve!
