Chicken Fried Rice

This is an adapted Weight Watchers recipe, I just do it the unhealthful way. I've made it before with ground turkey instead of chicken too.

Chicken Fried Rice

2 spray(s) cooking spray
4 large egg white(s) (I just scrambled 2 eggs)
1/2 cup(s) scallion(s), chopped, green and white parts
2 medium garlic clove(s), minced
12 oz uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup(s) carrot(s), diced  (I did 1 cup just to have more veggies)
2 cup(s) cooked brown rice, regular or instant, kept hot
1/2 cup(s) frozen green peas, thawed
3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

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.

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


I did things a little different than the recipe...I cook the chicken and carrots first
chop up the chicken
add the scallions, peas, rice, heat up
then add the scrambled egg...
I also like to add extra soy sauce before eating for more flavor. :o)

Chicken and Rice Soup

Probably one of my favorite soups this winter!

Chicken and Rice Soup

2-3 Chicken Breasts (they can be frozen)
1-2 Carrots, chopped or shredded
1 Celery, chopped
1 small Onion, chopped
Garlic Powder
Pepper
6 c Water
6 tsp Chicken Bouillon
1 box Wild and long grain rice

(If you don't use boxed rice, you'll just want to add more of your own spices)

Throw everything but the rice in the crockpot
Shred the chicken with two forks when it's cooked enough. Add box of rice about an hour before eating.
