Teriyaki Chicken, Edamame, and Bell Pepper Rice Bowls

I am always throwing together "stir fry" meals in our household. I throw in different meats and veggies every time. Stir fry is a great meal idea because it generally includes a lot of nutrition and doesn't require a lot of prep or cooking time.  At restaurants, stir fry is usually high in fat and calories, but at home you determine how much of each ingredient to use and what you put in it. This is a recipe I just threw together tonight because it was quick and sounded delicious. I served salad and mandarin orange slices with this dish and it was incredibly yummy. 

Teriyaki Chicken, Edamame, and Bell Pepper Rice Bowls
Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 cup brown rice (1/4 cup is one serving dry, so 1 cup equals 4 servings) - cook according to instructions on bag/box
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts - cut into small chunks
1-2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
1 cup shelled edamame - cook according to directions on package (we used frozen VIP shelled soybeans)
1 medium red bell pepper - sliced into thin strips
1 medium green bell pepper - sliced into thin strips
1 medium onion - sliced into strips or chunks
pepper for seasoning
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup Kikoman Lower Sodium Teriyaki Sauce

Directions:
-Cook rice according to instructions on bag/box - once finished, set aside and keep warm
-Cook edamame according to instructions on bag and set aside once finished cooking
-In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat to medium high heat
-Add chicken, red and green bell peppers, and onions to the skillet and season with pepper
-Cook until chicken is finished and the peppers and onions are cooked to your preference
-Once the chicken is done, add garlic, edamame, and teriyaki sauce to the mixture and stir well
-Place some rice in a bowl or on a plate and top with the chicken and veggie mix

*Suggestions
-You can use any kind of rice. We only use brown rice in our house because it is healthier and made of whole grains. Our favorite brown rice is Lundberg's Eco-Farmed Short Grain brown rice.
-You could use lean sirloin beef or pork loin chops in place of chicken if you desire
-We added a splash of low sodium soy sauce on top of the dish.

Enjoy :)
