First, chop chicken breast (or tofu) into small pieces and set it aside.
Set a nonstick skillet on low-medium heat and add olive oil and garlic. Careful NOT to let the garlic burn. Just let it cook for 1 minute then add chopped green onions. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula.
After another minute, add cooked brown rice to the skillet, then add the Chinese 5-spice blend. Stir and sear the cooked rice for about 45 seconds and let the aroma fill your kitchen.
Add 1 tablespoon of low sodium Tamari (or soy sauce) and after about 1 minute of searing the rice, increase the heat to medium-high and toss in the chopped chicken breast. Chop and stir.
Note: If you find the mixture is getting too dry, then decrease the heat and/or spray the skillet with olive oil.
Cook for about 5 to 8 minutes, until the outside of the chicken turns brown or has a light sear.
Finally, add frozen or fresh broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the food to a bowl or meal prep container, and you’re done.
Enjoy the tastiest chicken, brown rice and broccoli your body has been missing!
