Chinese Chicken and Rice
Sorry I don't have a good picture
Ingredients
1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into julienne strips
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 1/2 Cups Broccoli Florets
1 Cup Mushrooms
1/2 Cup Water Chestnuts
1 Cup Penny Sliced Carrots
1 Cup Green Onions, sliced
Marinade
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Ginger Root
2 tsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 Clove Garlic, Minced
Dash Hot Pepper Sauce
Directions:
Combine all marinade ingredients. Place chicken in marinade and let stand for 1 Hour in refrigerator. Meanwhile Make 6 servings of Brown Rice.
Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet and gently saute garlic until just fragrant. Add Sliced chicken and saute until no longer pink. Add chopped vegetables and cook until just soft. Remove from heat. Add the cooked vegetable mixture to the rice when it's finished cooking. Serve piping hot.
I personally don't like mushrooms, green onions or hot pepper sauce so I don't add them.

Chicken Fried Rice
I stole this from Lindsay Nelsons recipe blog. Sorry I haven't tried to make it but I love fried rice. Unfortunately it's not clean so I haven't tried it. She says it's amazing so I recommend it.
Ingredients:
3 Scrambled eggs 2 Carrots (finely grated)
1/2 White onion (finely chopped)
3/4 cup Frozen peas
1/2 cup Butter
1 to 2 Garlic cloves (Crushed) or 1 teaspoon of garlic Powder
2 cups White rice (not instant)
Marinate chicken in soy sauce, if you do not have much time, mix it with chicken before cooking In a large frying pan Cook chicken in small amount of olive oil, add carrots and onions and sauté until clear Add frozen peas and cook until soft. In a separate pan cook rice then add to the mixture In another pan, scramble three eggs, chop finely and add to mixture Melt 1/2 cup butter, add crushed garlic cloves to butter, stir and add to mixture Mix all together well, add soy sauce to taste and Enjoy.
*** She used half the garlic and butter... and used instant brown rice. She said it's still DELICIOUS!

I love this with Mashed potatoes. It's super easy just be careful not to over cook it. I wouldn't necessarily brown it as much as this picture. Also, I don't use fresh Parmesan I use the bottled one that you would use on spaghetti. It's delicious but sorry NOT CLEAN
