Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Brown rice
- 150 grams Chicken breast
- 3 large Eggs
- 100 grams Green peas
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 bunches Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, spread it on a baking sheet to cool and dry slightly.
Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large frying pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
While the chicken is cooking, peel and dice the carrot, mince the garlic cloves, and slice the green onions.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and green peas to the pan, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl and pour them into the pan, stirring quickly to scramble until they are just set.
Add the cooked rice, chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients and heat through, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle sliced green onions over the fried rice and stir once more before removing the pan from heat.
Serve the high protein fried rice immediately, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
