This is one of those recipes where I thought it would be good, but it ended up being amazing. Will definitely be making this again soon.

• 2 cups cooked short grain brown rice
• 3 1/2 tbsp olive oil, divided
• 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chopped broccoli
• 1 cup chopped carrot
• 2-3 cooked and diced chicken breasts

Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat.  Add 3 tbsp olive oil to the skillet and once the oil is heated, rock the skillet back and forth to evenly coat the bottom. Add the rice to the skillet in an even layer.  Let the rice sit, untouched, for about 4-5 minutes. The rice will sizzle but it won’t burn. Use a wooden spoon and gently push the rice away from the center of the skillet towards the outer edges. Add the remaining oil to the center of the pan.  Add the broccoli, carrots, and garlic to the pan and stir to combine.  Now add the soy sauce and chicken and let cook for a few minutes.
