healthy fried rice? yes, please.

This recipe is unbelievably easy and ... better than any take out fried rice I've ever had. Oh, and as an added bonus: it's healthy!!



What you need :



1 3/4c. Brown Rice ( I like the 90second microwaveable Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Ready Rice)- i used the whole package , make sure it's precooked before you add it in.

1 red pepper, diced

1 1/2 c. precooked chicken

1/2 cup of chopped green onions (scallions)

1/2 cup diced onions (i prefer the white onion)

1 large egg

2 tbsp Low sodium Soy Sauce

1 tsp olive oil

Make it:

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet. Add onion and red pepper and saute until the onion softens (approx 3 min). Add the egg stirring frequently and quickly until the egg firms up (approx 2 min). Add the soy sauce, chicken, rice (should already be cooked!), scallions, and if you want..hot sauce to taste. Stir and cook about 3 more minutes until well blended!
