Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 tsp olive oil
- 1½ cup Broccoli Florets
- 10.5 ounce Chicken Breasts (300g)
- Salt & Black Pepper to Taste
- 2 tsp Ground Turmeric
- 3 cups Cooked Rice (450g)
- 2 Small-Medium Eggs
Instructions
- Heat up 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry these on high heat for about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prep the chicken. Cut the breasts into thin strips. Season them with salt and pepper and rub in the turmeric.
- When the broccoli is done, transfer it into a bowl.
- Heat the rest of the olive oil in the pan and throw the seasoned chicken pieces. Stir-fry until cooked through. This will take about 4-5 minutes. When ready, transfer the chicken into the same bowl.
- In the same pan, fry the rice for a few minutes. Make a well in the middle. Pour in beaten eggs and let them set for a few seconds before scrambling them. When almost done, mix the scrambled eggs with rice.
- Add the cooked broccoli and chicken and mix around. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve while still warm!
Notes
- This recipe yields 4 portions (as a main course).
- The amount of all the ingredients can be easily adjusted to your liking.
- Turmeric will color your hands yellow so I recommend using gloves.
