Easy Chicken Fried Rice

This was yet another Pinterest find. Many Pinterest recipes like to boast that they are easy to get people to click through to their site, but this was actually very simple. My husband and toddler demolished this meal so I would say it was a success.

Ingredients

  • Two chicken breasts
  • 4 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1.5 cups mixed frozen veggies (I used a blend of carrots, peas, and corn)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp sesame seed oil
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

Directions

Prepare the rice according to the package and set aside. 

Cut your chicken into one-inch cubes, Add the oils and chicken to a large non-stick skillet and cook over medium-high heat. When cooked through, remove the chicken, but leave the oil in the pan. Add in the mixed veggies and green onions. Cook for a couple of minutes until the veggies soften. Stir in the garlic and cook an additional minute. 

Beat your eggs in a bowl or cup. Move the veggies over to one-half of the pan and pour your eggs onto the other half. Scramble the eggs until done. Add the chicken back in as well as the rice. Mix thoroughly. Add the soy sauce and stir until well mixed.

The next time I make this, I think I'm going to reduce the coconut oil by half. This will reduce the fat by 3g and calories by 25.
