Easy Chicken Fried Rice – Beth
Still not sold on brown rice but I am trying to use up what is in my house (a lot cause I heard it was good for me . I used yellow onion and green onion! The only frozen veggie I used was peas. I would use more garlic next time. I only used egg whites and you couldn't tell they were there. It was a good recipe and healthy….easy. - Beth
Serves 2
Barely adapted from Rachel Schultz
Ingredients:
2 cups prepared rice (I used long grain brown rice)
1 chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with salt & pepper (could use leftover cooked chicken)
1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables
2 green onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg
3 teaspoons sesame or wok oil, divided
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
Directions:
- Whisk egg with 1 teaspoon oil in a small dish then set aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken then stir fry until cooked through and remove to a plate. (If using pre-cooked chicken, skip this step.)
- Heat remaining teaspoon oil in the wok then add frozen mixed vegetables and green onions. Stir fry until tender, about 2 minutes, then add garlic and cook for 30 more seconds. Push vegetables to the side of the wok then add egg and sesame oil mixture into the center and scramble.
- Add cooked chicken, rice, and soy sauce to wok then toss well to combine.
