Instructions
Warm the Rice
If using pre-cooked rice, heat it in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out, stirring occasionally until it is hot and fluffy throughout.
Cook the Vegetables
Place the thawed peas and carrots in a skillet over medium heat with one tablespoon of butter and saute for two to three minutes until they are heated through and slightly tender.
Add Chicken and Season
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet with the vegetables, add the remaining tablespoon of butter, sprinkle in the garlic powder, and drizzle the soy sauce over everything, then stir and cook for two more minutes until everything is hot and coated in the seasoning.
Assemble and Serve
Divide the hot rice evenly between four bowls, then top each bowl with a generous scoop of the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture and serve immediately while hot.
