High Protein Chicken Fried Rice

Print Recipe

A comforting and nutritious twist on classic chicken fried rice, packed with protein and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients by gathering and chopping them. Have everything within reach when you start cooking.
  2. Heat up a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Let it warm for a minute.
  3. Sauté the mixed vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until tender.
  4. Scramble the eggs in the skillet until colorfully golden and cooked through—about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the diced chicken to the skillet and mix everything together for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the cooked brown rice, breaking up any clumps. Add the soy sauce and mix thoroughly.
  7. Season your dish with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting for flavor.
  8. Finish by folding in the chopped green onions. Optionally add a splash of lime juice before serving.

Notes

Consider adding different proteins or veggies for variety. For a vegan option, use tofu or chickpeas instead of chicken and omit the eggs.
