Chicken Fried Rice

This is one of my favorite recipes. It does take a few minutes to get all the ingredients ready for the recipe but it is well worth the work. I got this recipe from a friend when I first started weight watchers and I am still using it years later.

Ingredients:

2 servings of cooking spray
4 large egg whites
1/2 cup scallions, chopped with green and white parts
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp fresh ground ginger
12 oz uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1/2 cup carrots diced
1/2 cup celery diced

2 cups cooked brown rice, regular or instant kept hot
1/2 cup frozen green peas
3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions:

• 1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add egg whites and cook, until scrambled, stirring frequently, about 3 to 5 minutes; remove from pan and set aside.

• 2. Offheat, recoat skillet with cooking spray and place back over medium-high heat. Add scallions and garlic; saute 2 minutes. Add chicken and carrots; saute until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

• 3.Stir in reserved cooked egg whites, cooked brown rice, peas and soy sauce; cook until heated through, stirring once or twice, about 1 minute. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
