I get those moments where my stomach just screams on the inside for some Chinese food. It's one of those foods that on the most random of days, I'll suddenly just start craving. So I'll usually cave and then huddle in the fetal position on the couch for eating too much after binging on too much fried rice.
Well I decided if I ever crave Chinese food, I'd rather save my body the cramps, calories and crazy sodium intake by making my own. So let's make something I won't feel ashamed to over eat.
SKINNY CHICKEN FRIED RICE
Ingredients:
- 1 package boneless, skinless chicken breast boneless
- 4 cups Brown Rice
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 bag frozen peas and carrots
- One Large Egg
- 1/4 cup Scallions
- 1/4 cup Low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions:
Make your brown rice. While that's cooking, grill your chicken. Dice up your chicken once it's cooked.
Put your sesame oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Once the pot is warm, add your onion, garlic, and frozen peas and carrots. Cook until tender (about 8 minutes or until onions are clear).
Push veggies to the side to make room for the egg. Crack the egg into the skillet and scramble it mixing it throughout the eggs.
Add your chicken, rice and scallions to the skillet.
Pour in your soy sauce and pepper. Mix well.
Cook on medium low for 2 minutes and then enjoy!
