Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Large Wok

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken tenders
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 2 teaspoons Chinese Five Spice
  • pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger can sub for grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic crushed
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 large carrots julienned
  • 1 cup cabbage finely julienned
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup green beans finely diced
  • 4 cups frozen riced cauliflower
  • 4 cups frozen riced cauliflower and Sweet Potato

Instructions

  • Combine chicken tenders, coconut aminos, 1 teaspoon of Chinese Five Spice, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper and mix together well
  • Set aside and let marinate for about 20 minutes
  • Next, follow the instructions on the packaging to steam your frozen riced veggies, then allow them to drain in a sieve or on some sheets of paper towel
  • Once all of the water drains off from the steamed rice veggies, season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Chinese Five Spice, 1/2 a teaspoon of ground ginger and 1 tablespoon of onion powder. Mix together well and set aside
  • Then heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large wok, kaharee or frying pan on high heat
  • Cook seasoned chicken tenders until fully cooked. You may brown on both sides on high heat then, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until the tenders are cooked all the way through. This should take about 10 minutes
  • Once tenders have all been cooked set aside and let cool, then cut into 1 inch chunks. If making more of a strip chicken fried rice, you may use two forks to shred the tenders
  • Next add green beans to the pan and cook on high heat, stir frying until cooked but still crunchy, about 1 minute
  • Then add the broccoli and carrots and continue to stir fry on high heat for about another minute
  • Next add the diced bell peppers and diced garlic, stir fry for a few seconds then remove all of the veggies from the heat
  • Add about 1/4 of the remaining oil to the hot pan and stir fry about 1/4 of the seasoned riced veggies for about 1 minute on high heat.
  • Then remove from the heat and set aside
  • Continue to do this until all of the riced veggies have been stir fried
  • Then remove the pot from the heat and add all of the rice veggies back into the pot, followed by the stir fried vegetables, the chopped or shredded chicken, the cabbage and the green onion
  • Toss together well, then drizzle with the sesame oil
  • Serve hot. Best enjoyed immediately after cooking
