Chicken, Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry with Brown Rice

Continuing my 'eating better' stride, I present to you, Chicken, Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry with Brown Rice. There were unused mushrooms and broccoli from dinner last night and all I needed was some chicken for a simple stir fry to go with brown rice. It's pretty simple and doesn't take forever to make. You'll get brown rice anywhere these days and it's delicious!

Serves 2.

Rice

Ingredients:
1 cup brown rice
2 1/2 cup water
