Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
- While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced). Trim and remove strings from snow peas. Trim and cut scallions into 1-inch pieces.
- Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

Cook, stirring frequently, until veggies are tender and sauce has reduced to desired thickness, 2-4 minutes. Transfer chicken to pan with stir-fry; stir until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
