HEALTHY CHICKEN FRIED RICE (LOW G.I.)



Healthy Chicken Fried Rice (Low G.i.) image

Trying to accumulate some recipes that are high in fiber and protein but low in fat. This is actually just as good as regular fried rice. If you can't find fresh bean sprouts, just omit them because the ones in a can are sorta gross! Found that out the hard way!

HEALTHY CHICKEN FRIED RICE



Healthy Chicken Fried Rice image

I'm following the P90X diet and exercise program, but I really miss Chinese food! The stuff at the restaurants is absolutely loaded with grease and misses out on the delicious flavor of lots of vegetables. This is actually Sue Lau's Chinese Fried Rice recipe (type 38748 in the search bar above for the original. Thanks, Sue!), altered just a little for extra protein and less fat. One serving, according to the P90X nutrition plan, is 1 vegetable, 0.75 fat, 1 protein, and 1 carbohydrate. Enjoy!
