  • 3-4 Chicken breasts cubed
  • 2-3 cups Cooked day-old rice

Instructions

  • Prepare your chicken breast by cutting it into bite size pieces. Place the pieces in a bowl and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, red chili flakes (optional), salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well until all chicken pieces are coated in seasonings.
  • Heat a neutral oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and start frying the chicken. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • While the chicken is cooking, wash and peel the carrots and peel garlic. Chop the carrots, ginger, garlic, and bell pepper.
  • Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the pan and place it in a clean bowl to add into the rice later. Using the same pan add carrots, ginger, and garlic. Sauté over medium heat for 4-5 mins before adding bell peppers to the pan.
  • Season veggies with garlic powder, salt, and pepper and mix together well. Once they are golden brown, add leftover rice to the pan and incorporate it into the vegetables.
  • Season the rice with salt and pepper, soy sauce, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Mix well.
  • Add the chicken to the pan of rice and mix until ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Plate in your favorite bowl and serve with fresh lime. Garnish with dill and snap peas for a pop of color!

Notes
