Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked brown rice (I cooked mine in chicken stock), warmed
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into small chunks (about 1” long by 1/2” wide)

- 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce

- Place a medium stainless skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat.
- Add in the sesame oil and heat for about 30 seconds.
- Add in the ginger and garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken, stir and cook for ~3-4 minutes per side or until the chicken is just about done.
- Add the mushrooms, water chestnuts and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring around.
