Make a Healthy Stir-Fry (or Chicken Fried Rice)

Stir-Fry's are a great way to make an easy dinner that everyone will enjoy. This article will focus on making a healthy chicken stir-fry.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Boil your chicken breasts. I usually just throw them into boiling water, whole, for about 15 minutes. You need to just keep checking them until they're cooked thoroughly. Try not to over cook them.
Step 2

Cut up your chicken into bite-sized pieces. The size and shape is really up to you, I do mine in little cubes about 1/2 inch across.
Step 3

Cook your brown rice according to the package directions. You want about 2 cups worth, after cooking.
Step 4

Put wok/skillet on medium-high heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Add chopped mushrooms and green onions. Let these cook for about 2-3 minutes until soft.
Step 5

Add your chicken and rice (both already cooked) and mix everything together. Make sure you keep stirring so it doesn't stick.
Step 6

Move the rice, chicken and vegetable mixture over to the side of the pan and add 2 eggs to the bottom of the pan. Let them cook on their own for about 30 seconds. Once they start solidifying then you can go ahead and mix them in with everything else.
Step 7

Add soy sauce. Add white pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.
Step 8

Let this mixture heat through for about 5 minutes. When you think it's done, add the bean sprouts. They should be last and shouldn't stay on the heat for long.
Step 9

Remove from heat and enjoy!!
Step 10

This is a very healthy well-balanced meal that everyone will enjoy.
