Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large lidded skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add pepper and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add another 2 teaspoons oil to skillet and heat until it shimmers. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with vegetables. (If you are starting with precooked chicken, you can skip this step.)
- Add another 2 teaspoons oil and heat until it shimmers. Add chopped zucchini, carrots, cabbage, and sugar snap peas; cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add broth and cook, covered, until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to bowl.
- Add remaining 3 teaspoons oil to skillet and heat until it shimmers. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, 15 seconds. Add rice (and precooked chicken, if using) and cook, breaking up clumps and stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add bowl contents, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, and salt. Cook, stirring and tossing, until well mixed and heated through, about 5 minutes more.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wide-bottom frying pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken to a warm bowl.
- Add remaining oil to the pan and increase heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms and celery and cook until celery is slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
- Push veggies to the side of the pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Tilt the pan 45 degrees so veggies are away from the heat and add eggs to the open space in the skillet. Cook and stir until eggs are scrambled, about 3 minutes.
- Mix eggs and veggies together. Add rice; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add chicken and soy sauce; stir well. Add peas and green onions; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

CHICKEN FRIED RICE WITH VEGETABLES
I got this recipe out of a SHAPE magazine years ago. It's pretty easy to make and tastes good too! Also, very healthy. The carrots sweeten the whole dish. This is the meal that got me turned on to brown rice.
