Ingredients to make Stir-fried rice with chicken and vegetables:

How to make Stir-fried rice with chicken and vegetables:
- The first thing we must do to prepare the stir-fried rice with chicken is to wash and chop all the vegetables. We can cut them as we like, in Juliana, small cubes, larger pieces…, the important thing is that we keep the same size.
- Then, we take a deep frying pan and heat a jet of oil. When it is hot, fry the leek over medium heat for a couple of minutes and, after this time, add the peppers and carrots to sauté everything together. We add salt to taste. On the other hand, we put the rice to boil following the instructions of the brand.
- Trick: You can add more vegetables if you wish, such as zucchini or eggplant.
- When the vegetables are soft, we chop up the chicken and add it to the pan to sauté it. At this point, we add pepper to taste. If you want, you can add mushrooms to the rice with vegetables recipe and also incorporate them in this step.
- When the rice is boiled, drain it, go through cold water and add it to the pan once the chicken is well done. We mix everything and add curry to taste. We advise you to add this ingredient in small quantities and try the rice with chicken and vegetables so as not to go overboard, since if you add more than necessary it will be somewhat spicy.
- Clever! We serve the stir-fried rice with chicken and vegetables immediately to prevent it from getting cold. As you can see, it is a quick, easy and flavorful recipe that allows us to add all the vegetables we want. Likewise, it offers us the possibility of taking advantage of the leftover white rice from other preparations, since we cook it separately and mix it with the vegetables once boiled.
