Instructions
Cook the base – Prepare rice or quinoa according to package directions.
Sear the chicken – Heat olive oil in a skillet. Pat chicken dry, then sear on each side until golden and cooked through.

Add the veggies – Toss in mixed vegetables, cooking until bright and slightly crisp.

Garnish & serve – Finish with green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh herbs.
