Ingredients
  • 20 oz chicken (cooked & diced)
  • 1 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 2 cup brown rice (cooked)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seed oil
  • 12 oz peas & carrots (frozen)
  • 4 eggs (large)
  • 4 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp red chili pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • green onions (to garnish, optional.)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Season your chicken with garlic salt, pepper, and red chili flakes, to taste.

  2. 2

    Heat up a large pan or wok over medium heat with the sesame seed oil. My wok is by HexClad.

  3. 3

    Add the cooked rice into your wok. Cook for about 5 minutes to crisp up the rice.

  4. 4

    Move the rice to the sides of the wok so that you create a divot in the middle. Pour your eggs in the middle. Cook until scrambled & mix into your rice.

  5. 5

    Add in your frozen peas & carrots, as well as your chicken. Toss for another 4 minutes, or until the veggies are no longer frozen.

  6. 6

    Add in coconut aminos & rice vinegar. Mix until fully incorporated.

  7. 7

    Serve and enjoy! Top with additional coconut aminos and/or spicy mayo if desired! I make my own spicy mayo by using nonfat Greek yogurt mixed with sriracha! Such an easy & healthy alternative!
