Chicken And Veggies over Rice

 

Chicken and veggies over rice

Mm. Okay so we had chicken and rice two days in a row. It's alright. 

Today we had chicken, green peppers, tomatoes and onions over plain white rice.

I sliced the veggies and cut up the chicken, then I heated a pan to medium heat and added a tablespoon of butter,  some salt, pepper and fresh garlic and threw the chicken on top and cooked the chicken until it wasn't pink anymore. (It will brown up a bit with the veggies

Then I added the veggies to the same pan and stirred 'em up making sure they were cooking evenly and getting nice and tender, yet staying crisp. 
While the veggies were cooking I prepared the rice by the instructions on the box, but added a little bit of salt and pepper. While the rice is steaming, let the chicken/veggie pan cook down until it looks like the last photo above. 

Below you can see my honey's lunch that I packed for her (grilled chicken, zucchini and squash with some white rice) from the dinner that we made together yesterday. 

We added some seasoning to the chicken (just some Old Bay seasoning sprinkled on top), threw it on the grill, and she sliced the veggies and put them on some foil with some butter (Yes, butter again, but just a little goes a long way, I promise!- Ps. nobody's perfect. enjoy some butter.) When they were almost done she took them off the foil and let them get those little grill marks on the veggie strips (Mm!) 

We served it with some white rice and egg. I made the rice according to the box but added a bit of salt and pepper. I heated a small pan and threw in some fresh garlic and chopped scallions (green onions- the green and the white parts) then added an egg and scrambled it, then added it to the rice.

 I also attempted a "Yum Yum" sauce recipe from my pinterest board but we're two northern girls with miracle whip instead of mayo and it just didn't work out too well. Next time I'll get some mayo and try again. If it turns out, I'll post the recipe :)
