Tonight's dinner: Asian inspired grilled chicken, veggies, and brown rice stir fry

      Eating healthy doesn't have to take a long time or involve a lot of prep work.  Many nights of the week I make one skillet or one pot meals.  I also like to get some help from the store every now and again by buying  frozen veggies and meat.

Tonight's meal was a quick Asian inspired stir fry (359 calories total)




INGREDIENTS:
3 ounces Tyson grilled ready frozen chicken breast strips (100 calories)
1/2 cup instant brown rice (150 calories)
1 cup frozen organic broccoli florets ( 48 calories)
2/3 cup organic rainbow chard (30 calories)
1/3 cup chopped yellow onion (15 calories)
1/2 cup large chopped vine ripe tomato (11 calories)
1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce (15 calories)
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth (5 calories)
salt to taste
peeper to taste
garlic powder to taste


Directions:
*In a medium to large skillet over medium heat place the frozen grilled chicken
cook until warm
*Then add the chopped onion and cook until the onion is tender crisp
*then add the broccoli, tomato, and chard
this is when I add my spices
*when the veggies are still a little crisp I add the chicken broth and teriyaki sauce
*bring the chicken broth to a boil and add the rice
Turn heat to medium low and simmer the rice for 5 minutes or until tender
*when the  rice is tender place everything in a bowl and enjoy
