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.
