Stir-fried chicken with egg fried rice

This is a great recipe for using up leftover rice sitting in the fridge. A few minutes in a hot pan will bring it back to life. Alternatively use a pouch of cooked rice or mixed grains

To cook the chicken and vegetables

Heat a little oil in a large wok. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper then add it to the wok.  Allow to cook for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and keep warm while cooking the vegetables.  Add a little more oil to the wok.  Add the onion, red pepper and broccoli and cook for 4-5 minutes.  Stir through the garlic and cook for another minute. Remove the vegetables from the wok and keep warm along with the chicken.

Stir well and allow to cook for a minute or two.  Add back the chicken and vegetables and stir to mix into the rice mixture.  Taste and season.
