Chicken Stir Fry Style Dinner

Occasionally, we all come across a night where we just want to get rid of all the leftover produce in the fridge.  This recipe is perfect for such an occasion!  I've made this dish before, when the idea was to simply throw together all the vegetables and other leftovers.  It's a delicious concoction, though, so I planned ahead for this particular night and made the chicken stir fry-style dish for our special dinner guest last week-- a dear neighbor and friend.
This Asian-style meal includes frying all the vegetables, chicken breasts, and rice whilst drenching the whole thing in soy sauce.  Following no particular recipe, I simply invented as I went.  Since there is no measuring involved, the meal comes out differently each time you make it. 
I started out by cutting a few chicken breasts into bite sized chunks.  I fried them with minimal oil until they were cooked, and just beginning to brown.  Seasoning included generous salt and pepper, as well as a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce.  At the same time, I was cooking some non stick rice in the microwave.  Both the poultry and the rice were set aside while the main part of the dish was prepared: the vegetables.

 

These included onions, baby carrot coins, broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini, all cut up into bite sized pieces.  When the carrots and broccoli were no longer that crisp, I added in the chicken.  This mixture received another small dosing of Worcestershire sauce.  My skillet was too small for the large portion that I was making, so I was forced to transfer the vegetables and chicken to a larger pot for this next step.  The rice should also be fried, so it was added to the vegetable mixture on medium heat.  While stirring and mixing everything thoroughly, I added a generous amount of soy sauce, giving the dish its appealing browned look.  

For dessert, there was a scrumptious coconut cream pie with a graham cracker crust.  Sadly enough, the pie was such a hit that it was gone before I had a chance to photograph it.  Another time, then.

But for now, enjoy your chicken stir fry style dinner!
