1 tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 cups pre-cooked brown rice
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Add chicken strips in a single layer and sear undisturbed for five minutes to develop a golden crust.
Flip the chicken and toss in the bell peppers.
Stir consistently for three minutes until peppers are slightly softened.
Sprinkle garlic powder over the mixture.
Pour in the soy sauce and stir vigorously to deglaze the pan and coat all ingredients.
