Simple Stir-fry

Here's a quick and easy dish you can cook up on the fly, but still get some hearty results.

Chicken stir-fry with rice and egg

Ingredients:

Boneless chicken breasts (1 large one would do, but for less prep work, go for the pre-cut thin sliced ones)
Soy Sauce (I prefer Kikoman Japanese style for a lighter taste)
4 cloves garlic
1 qtr red onion (white is fine too)
2 carrots (or about a half-cup baby carrots)
1 cup broccoli
2 cups fresh spinach
1 lemon
1 tbs. butter(salter or unsalted is fine)
Pepper
Garlic powder

Optional:

Sesame seeds
Sesame oil
Chili flakes

Prep work:

Put some soy sauce into a bowl along with 1/2 juice of the lemon, about a tsp. of garlic powder and a tbs. of sesame seeds. Mix it up and set aside.

Cut up the chicken into bite-sized pieces and throw it into the soy mixture for a little bit. Make sure each piece is coated nicely. Set aside.

Wash your hands.

Time to chop up the veggies. Start with the carrots. Then broccoli, then put them in a bowl, and sprinkle a little bit of salt and the rest of your lemon onto them.

Now, preheat a skillet to medium heat. Add about a tsp. of sesame oil to heat up on the skillet for a nice nutty flavor.

Continue chopping. Garlic and onions this time in to a nice fine dice.

Throw in the butter and melt it. You can use Sesame Oil instead or mix in some sesame oil for a more authentic Asian flavor.

Once the butter is melted, throw in your onions and garlic. Let it cook until the onions become a bit translucent.

Now, time to throw in the chicken. Pour chicken, marinade and all, into the skillet, and stir it a bit until... probably give it a couple of minutes.

Pour about 1/2 cup of water and bring to a simmer.

Once simmering, throw in the broccoli and carrots. Add a little bit of salt and some pepper and some chili flakes if you want. Cover it up and let it sit there for about 5 minutes.

After that, throw in the spinach, cover it up, and let it sit there until the spinach leaves are wilted. Probably another 3-5 minutes.

Once the spinach is wilted, mix it up again, and put it on a plate! Have some rice or noodles with it. For this one, I used rice, and I fried up an egg to go along with it.
