Chicken and Vegetable with brown rice on a white plate

This recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make and has healthy vegetables like carrots, green onions, and broccoli. You can omit the snow peas if they aren’t in season. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or a mixture of the two. Serve this dish with brown rice.
