It sure isn't easy...

I am going to make a better attempt on updating my blog more often.  But it sure is not easy when I have a toddler at home that I take care of while my husband is at work.  And on top of taking care of her, I am also busy doing the household cleaning and laundry that needs to be done.  Sometimes I think my life was a little easier when I was actually working.  But if I was still working, I know I would not have time to blog. 

Last night I made this stir fry dish that my husband loved so much.  He loved it so much that I had made it two nights in a row.  The dish I made last night was just a little different than the night before because this time I added carrots.  He also commented that this time the chicken tasted more tastier.

Here is what we had for dinner last night.

I don't know what to call it because it was just something that I made up out of thin air.  But it has chicken, broccoli, carrots, onions, and rice.  I think I will call this recipe Chicken, Broccoli, and Carrot Stir Fry.  I don't have exact measurements because I eyeball'ed everything in this dish.  But I will post what I think it was.

Chicken, Broccoli, and Carrot Stir Fry

1/2 lb. chicken breast, cut in cubes
1 (12 oz.) bag of frozen broccoli, thawed
1 (12 oz.) bag of frozen carrots, thawed
1 medium onion, diced
2 c rice, cooked
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. teriyaki sauce
unsalted butter

Cook onions in about two tablespoons of unsalted butter.  Once onions are soft but not too soft, add the chicken.  While chicken and onions are cooking, cook rice in a separate pot or in a rice cooker.  Steam the broccoli and carrots while everything is cooking.  Add a little bit of salt and pepper to the chicken and onions.  Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, put the chicken and onions in a big bowl.  Add the broccoli and carrots once they are fully steamed.  Add a bit more of salt and pepper to the bowl and stir to combine.  Finally, add the rice when it's completely cooked.  Add a tablespoon or two of butter, and add a little more salt and pepper to taste, and stir everything to combine.  After everything is combined, pour some teriyaki sauce over everything.  Enjoy!
