Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 lbs chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 8 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups of cooked brown rice

FOR THE STIR FRY SAUCE

  • 4  tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2  tsp sriracha sauce
  • 3 tsp cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • For this recipe you will need a very large wok or skillet, or you can make it in two batches, otherwise your ingredients will not all fit. In a small bowl, add all the stir fry sauce ingredients and whisk together.
  • Add oil and garlic to your pan and bring to medium high heat. Once oil is heated, add in chicken and cook until chicken is about 2/3 done.
  • Add in the broccoli and carrots and cook until everything is just cooked. Pour in about half of the stir fry sauce and stir it evenly into the broccoli, carrots and chicken. Taste and add more sauce as needed. You may not want to add the entire sauce amount. I used about 2/3 of the sauce in total. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add more cornstarch into your stir fry to thicken the sauce. Once everything is cooked and evenly coated in sauce, turn off heat. Sprinkle scallions over stir fry.
  • Add 1/2 cup of brown rice to each of your meal prep containers. Divide your stir fry into about 8 equal portions and add to the containers. Store in fridge and consume within 3-4 days.

Notes

If desired, you can velvet the chicken first before cooking it. This is something that is done in Chinese restaurants to make the chicken breast very tender and moist. To do this, first mix the sliced chicken breast in baking soda. For every 1 lb of chicken you need 1.5 tsp of baking soda, so if you are following this recipe exactly you will need 3 tsp of baking soda.
Let the chicken marinate in the baking soda for 20 minutes. Then thoroughly rinse the chicken to wash off the baking soda. Then cook the chicken according to recipe instructions.
