Personal notes:

I used green onions instead of scallions. I also boiled the chicken first before doing anything, just because I'm really super picky and want to be sure my chicken is cooked through. This made it easier to more 'shred' the chicken instead of cube it (I prefer smaller pieces of chicken and so do the kids, so shredding was better for our family). I also added some salt, pepper, ginger, and basil when I added the chicken and carrots to the pan - some reviews of the recipe said that it was bland and suggested this. Turned out great! Also, I used Uncle Ben's Ready whole grain brown rice. I doubled the recipe so I can heat it up for future lunches this week.
