High Protein Vegetarian Tofu Stir Fry Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink and fully cooked through.
Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with the cooked chicken and vegetables. Add sliced avocado on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve and enjoy!
