Recipe...Chinese Chicken and Rice

Put the following ingredients in a plastic baggie for marinade, add 1 lb chicken cut into julienne strips, and let stand for 1 hour in refrigerator:

2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
1 TBSP minced ginger root (I leave this out--my kids don't like the taste)
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce or gluten free tamari
1 clove garlic, minced
dash hot pepper sauce

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.  Add 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt if desired.  Bake for 40 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.

Meanwhile, heat 2 TBSP olive oil in a large skillet and gently saute 2 cloves garlic, minced, until just fragrant.  Add sliced chicken and saute until no longer pink.  Add 1 1/2 cup chopped broccoli, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup penny sliced carrots, and 1 cup chopped green onions and cook until just soft.  Remove from heat.  Add the cooked vegetable mixture to the rice when it's finished baking.  Serve piping hot.
