Ingredients
  

  • 1-1.5 cup dry white rice (can substitute cauliflower rice)
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken
  • 2-3 eggs
  • 1 small bag frozen peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • For Rice: I like to cook my white rice ahead of time for easy assembly. You can use a rice cooker, boil it on the stove to package instructions, or even buy pre-cooked rice.
  • Start by adding toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and frozen vegetables to a skillet on medium-high heat. Cook until the frozen peas & carrots have de-thawed.
  • Next, add in the eggs and scramble in with the mixed vegetables. Lower the heat if needed to ensure that the eggs do not burn.
  • Add in the chicken of your choice along with the rice. Give the ingredients a good mix.
  • Once everything is well incorporated, add in the coconut aminos and ground ginger. Let the rice sit on the stove for 5 minutes or so, stirring frequently so it only gets slightly crispy.
  • Top with green onions, crushed peanuts, red cabbage, or sriracha! Enjoy :)

For Cauliflower Rice

  • For cauliflower rice instructions, follow the same instructions, but add the frozen riced cauliflower in with the frozen peas & carrots with the first step.
