Ingredients:
-cooking spray
-4 large egg whites
-1/2 cup uncooked scallions, chopped, green and white parts
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-12 oz uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
-1/2 cup uncooked carrots diced
-2 cups cooked brown rice, regular or instant, kept hot
-1/2 cup frozen green peas thawed
-3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
Directions:
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add egg whites and cook, until scrambled, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes; remove from pan and set aside.
Off heat, recoat skillet with cooking spray and place back over medium high heat. Add scallions and garlic; saute 2 minutes. Add chicken and carrots; saute until chicken is golden brown ad cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Stir in reserved cooked egg whites, cooked brown rice, peas, and soy sauce; cook until heated through, stirring once or twice, about 1 minute. Yiedls about six 1 cup servings
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.

I use this one - delicious
Ingredients
1 egg
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp olive oil
200g/7oz long-grain rice (uncooked weight), cooked and left to go cold
100g/4oz frozen peas, defrosted (rinse under warm water to do this quickly)
4 spring onions, finely chopped
100g chicken breast, stripped and cooked
1-2 tsp soy sauce
ground white pepper
Preparation method
Beat together the egg and sesame oil and put to one side.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan. When it's shimmering and almost smoking, add the rice and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until completely heated through.
Add the peas, spring onions and chicken. Stir-fry, turning the rice constantly around the pan, for about 3 minutes. Season well with soy sauce and pepper, then push to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the other side and leave for about 10 seconds so it begins to set. Using a chopstick, briskly swirl around the egg to break it up and then toss around with the rice. Stir-fry for a further minute and serve straight away.0 -
