Chicken Fried Rice

Prep 10mins | Serves 2 | Cook 15mins

Ingredients

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

200g chicken breast fillets (thinly sliced)

1 large garlic clove (minced)

3 spring onions (white and green parts separated)

1 carrot (finely diced)

1 cup frozen peas

1/2 cup broccoli florets (cut into 2cm pieces)

1 cup cooked brown rice

1 tbs reduced-salt soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 cup baby spinach leaves

Method

Step 1 Fill food flasks with boiling water and set aside.

Step 2 Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3 Add garlic and white part of onion to pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add carrot, peas and broccoli and cook, stirring, for a further 5 minutes or until softened.

Step 4 Return chicken to pan. Add rice, soy sauce and sesame oil, then cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until rice is warmed through. Add spinach and stir to combine.

Step 5 Drain water from flasks and dry well. Spoon in rice, top with green part of onion, then serve.

Step 6 Change up the vegetables if your child has other favourites, such as swapping out the peas for corn, or the broccoli for cauliflower.
