‘A’ was in charge of dinner. Chicken Fried Rice was the menu. I took an existing clean eating recipe from
The Gracious Pantry, and altered it to fit our family taste preferences…
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed (original recipe had pork)
3 cups cooked black rice (original recipe had brown rice. Black rice has more fiber and protein. I used a rice called ‘Forbidden Rice’)
1/2 lb. green peas (I used frozen)
1 cup shredded carrots
2 whole eggs (original recipe called for an additional 2 egg whites)
5 green onions, sliced (I included the white parts)
1 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. olive oil
Chicken broth on reserve if you run out of oil in the pan.
Original recipe called for these, but I omitted:
1 cup bean sprouts, chopped
1/2 lb. shiitake mushrooms
Topping: Soy sauce, low sodium to taste
Directions
In a large pan, cook the peas and carrots in the olive oil. Add the eggs, and stir until cooked. Add everything else and stir until well combined. Let the rice cook in the pan long enough to create a little bit of a crust. Then, turn the rice over and cook for a few more minutes.
Top with soy sauce and serve.
‘A’ concentrating on grating…
Yum! This is a dish we have about once a week. This was the first time with the black rice. We all liked it! Good job, ‘A’!
