Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup long grain brown rice
  • 3 Tbsp. lite soy sauce reduced sodium, lite soy sauce
  • ¼ tsp. chili sauce I used Kikkoman Thai Style Chili Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • ½ lb. chicken boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ cup red bell pepper finely chopped
  • ¼ cup green onion finely chopped
  • ¾ cup peas frozen, thawed
  • 1 cup egg whites I used 8 oz. AllWhites® egg whites

Instructions

  • First rinse your rice! Then bring water and rice to a boil in 2-quart saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Cover saucepan with a tight fitting lid. Cook rice over low heat for 35 minutes, or until rice is tender.
  • OR you can use a rice cooker and cook according to directions.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl stir together soy sauce and chili sauce and set it aside.
  • Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Cook chicken, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink. This SHOULD take about 5-7 minutes, as we cut the chicken into ½ inch pieces.
  • Add red bell pepper and green onion. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Now you are going to add into the pan your cooked rice and the thawed peas. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes.
  • Now reduce the heat to low and stir in your soy sauce mixture. With a spoon, push the rice mixture to the sides of skillet, making a well for the egg whites.
  • Pour egg whites into this well in the the center of your skillet.
  • As the egg starts to set, use a spatula to slowly stir the egg whites until eggs are set.
  • One the eggs are set, stir the entire mixture around so that the eggs blend evenly with the rice, chicken and veggies.
