Chicken Fried Rice Skillet

I am sorry if this recipe looks long and complicated. It's not. I just have a habit of making things more complicated than they are. I broke this down into bite-size steps for you. ;) It's handy to have 2 large deep fry-pans, with lids, when making this recipe. Allow 2 hours to prepare this recipe.

Step 1:
Put the following in a ziplock bag to marinate for 1 to 2 hours:
1 1/2 lb. chicken breasts, thawed and cut up
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/2 t. sesame oil

Step 2:
Brown chicken pieces in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, with a dash of garlic salt and pepper.

Step 3:
Cook 4 servings of short-grained brown rice, or whatever rice you prefer.
I use my rice cooker, so I have to start this an hour before we plan to eat.
My family doesn't have rice often but I couldn't live without my rice cooker--love it!

Step 4:
In large skillet, saute the following vegetables until softened:

2 T. butter (the real stuff :)
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed (or 1/8 t. minced garlic from jar)
1/2 c. yellow onion, chopped
1/2 bag Matchstix, french-cut carrots
garlic salt and pepper

Add the sauteed vegees to the other skillet with cooked chicken. Turn to low heat, cover slightly.

Step 5:
In the now empty skillet, add:

2 T. butter
1/4 c. water
2 c. frozen peas
5 c. frozen broccoli

Cover green vegees, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until soft, about 10 minutes. Add green vegees to chicken skillet. Adding a couple teaspoons more soy sauce and a few more drops of sesame oil, if needed.

Step 6:
In clean skillet, scramble together:
1-2 T. butter
5 eggs
1/2 t. soy sauce
lightly salt & pepper

Finely chop up eggs, then add to chicken skillet.

Step 7:
Mix together:
4 c. cooked, short-grain, brown rice
4 T. Yoshihida's Gourmet Sauce

Add rice to chicken skillet and mix in. Turn up the heat and cook, uncovered for a few minutes. Serve as is or with a little Yoshihida's Gourmet Sauce on the side.

Serves 6-10. It would have made closer to 8-10 servings if my kids didn't devour it all! They are teenagers though. :) Can easily be halved for a small family.
