Wow is it that time again! I am sitting here making out my menu for this week and watching snow flurries! I am sure the calender said spring! But alas they are coming down and as much as I love snow, them it was sad not to hear the birds this morning. So here is my menu and I will share a recipe from last weeks menu that was requested at the end.

Giving credit is important this recipe for Chicken Carrot Fried Rice is from a Taste of Home Cookbook that I purchased a few years ago. I love Taste of Home and I love their site, check it out here.
3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cubed
4 Tablespoons soya sauce, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh broccoli
3 green onions, sliced
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3 large carrots, grated
4 cups cold cooked rice
1/4 tsp. pepper
In a bowl, combne the chicken, 1 Tablespoon soya sauce and garlic; set aside. In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry the broccoli and green onions in 1 Tablespoon oil for 5 minutes. Add carrots; stir-fry 4 minutes longer or until tendr crisp. Remove and set aside.
in the same skillet, stir-fry the chicken in remaining oil until no longer pink and juices run clear. Add the pepper, rice and veggies and remaining sya sauce. Stir-fry until heated through. Serves 4-6
As with all recipes in my house they are subject to changes. In this recipe I almost always use more soya sauce and a bit more oil. I don't have a large frying pan so I use my large pot. I don't always use broccoli, I sometimes used 2 cups of mixed veggies. Last time I cut steak in to strips and use it instead of chicken. I always make it ahead and place it in a casserole dish to reheat. Hope you enjoy.
