Chicken Fried Rice {Paleo AND Regular}
Sandy Tocci
The more you cook, the more you make--- its as simple as that! If you are one that wants to get in the kitchen more, start COOKING! I know it gets frustrating and probably hectic at times but doing it does NOT take much and there are plenty of quick meals out there that will give you something to work with.
Here is my Chicken Fried Rice recipe(S)! Made both of these the other night and it was DELICIOUS! {keep in mind that you make the base all together and then you divide so stay with me on the recipe below...}
INGREDIENTS {use ANY veggies you want but remember the Paleo guidelines if you're going that route--- if you are only making ONE kind, divide recipe in haldf}
- 4 cups cooked chopped chicken (divided in half into 2 cups each)
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup chopped zucchini
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons FRESH ground ginger
- 2 cups cauliflower rice (I buy the frozen from Trader Joes)
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup coconut aminos (split into 1/4 cup servings)
- 4 egg whites, scrambled (divided into 2 each)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large pan, cook the onion in coconut oil on medium heat until soft; about 5-7 minutes.
- Toss in all veggies (IMPORTANT! If you are following a Paleo diet, you may NOT add in peas or any non-paleo veggies SO save those until the end when you divide the recipe.) and saute until cooked.
- Add garlic and FRESH ginger; mix well.
- DIVIDE the mix into TWO pans. {sorry... this is needed!}
- Add 2 cups of chicken into EACH pan; saute a bit until chicken gets a little brown.
- Add cauliflower rice into Paleo pan and brown rice into regular pan; this is where you can add any additional veggies into non-paleo pan if you'd like.
- Add 1/4 cup coconut aminos to each pan and lower heat to LOW; simmer for 2-5 minutes.
- Push mixture to the side in each pan and add egg whites to the other side; scramble good and then do a quick stir into the rice mixture.
- SERVE with a side of veggies or salad!
- ENJOY!
