Dinner Scavenger Hunt

So after a busy day ends & dinner time closes in on you, sometimes the only choice you have is to raid your freezer/fridge & pantry on a "Master Chef" type mission to find something...ANYTHING you can throw together for dinner. Today was that day for me. On my scavenger hunt I managed to find 3pieces of grilled chicken breasts, brown rice, & frozen peas....woohoo!! Well not really however a recipe idea came to me. Earlier today I did an order of honey glazed chicken for a customer & my house STILL smelled like yummy curry & honey, so I decided to make a kind of stir-fry with my findings!!! This was a really quick & easy meal & it was really tasty too!!! Please feel free to let me know what you think of this recipe.

Honey Chicken Stir-Fry
3 grilled chicken breasts
1 cup of brown rice
2 1/2 cups of water
1 small onion chopped
1/4 cup of honey
1/8 cup of brown sugar
2 Tbs of low sodium soy sauce
the juice of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp curry
8 oz of frozen peas
Salt & pepper to taste

In a large skillet combine brown rice & water. Bring to a boil & cover. Reduce temperature & simmer for about 35 mins or until almost done.

Meanwhile cut chicken into bite size cubes. 

When the rice is ready add the cubed chicken, onions, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, & curry. Cook until the rice is finished & chicken is warmed completely (about 10 mins). Add the peas & stir to combine. Turn heat off & cover skillet. Let stand for 5 mins.
