For a fancy finish: Green onion and sesame seeds to garnish

1. If you’re using dry rice, cook your rice using package instructions while you prepare the rest of the meal

2. Add 1 head (or one 16oz. frozen bag) of roughly cut broccoli to a skillet over medium heat with a dash of olive oil, or any oil you have on hand. Note: if you’re using frozen broccoli, wait until broccoli is almost entirely defrosted before moving to next step.

3. Roughly chop 2 packages Lifelife Smart Tenders, add them to the skillet and toss with spatula. Note: If you’re adding extra veggies, stir those in now as well.

4. Combine 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (or flour) to a small bowl and whisk until the cornstarch or flour has fully dissolved into the teriyaki sauce

5. Pour the teriyaki mixture into the pan and toss with your spatula until everything is well coated. Note: If you’re using instant (microwavable) rice, or frozen rice, microwave it now while the chicken and veggies are sautéing).

6. Let the chicken and veggies cook on the skillet for 5 or so minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens

7. Divide the rice onto 2-4 plates and top with the chicken & veggie mixture and any optional garnishes
