instructions
    1

    Start by rinsing rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook 2 cups of rice according to package instructions, typically taking about 20 minutes.

    2

    While the rice is cooking, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.

    4

    In the same skillet, add a diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

    5

    Next, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

    6

    Pour in the soy sauce and stir everything together to combine the flavors. Cook for another minute.

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet, combining it with the chicken and shrimp mixture. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.

    8

    Finish by garnishing with sliced green onions before serving.
