Here is how you make Chicken Veggie Fried Rice (half brown rice):

Cook the rice according to package directions (50 minutes for brown, 20 minutes for white). Doing this early and refrigerating the rice will make it easier to fry... leftover rice is the best! Otherwise, just start this first and work on the veggies and chicken while you are waiting for the rice.Spray a skillet with cooking spray and add the chicken. When the chicken is cooked, let it cool and cut into small cubes. Peel the garlic and mince (or use a garlic press). Dice the vegetables into appropriately sized pieces. For me, this means small so the texture of the veggies is masked by the rice. The biggest pieces were less than half an inch square.Using a large skillet, put 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan. Add the garlic and onions first and saute until softened (about 3 - 5 minutes on high heat). Add the rest of the vegetables and dust with garlic salt and pepper and stir fry them for 5 - 10 more minutes, depending on how done you like your veggies. Either remove the veggies from the skillet or push them to the edges of the pan to make an open space for the rice. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and then add the rice. Break up any large chunks of white rice (brown is usually just fine) and let fry on one side for a few minutes on high heat. Turn the rice and toss around for a few more minutes. Sprinkle the rice with the soy sauce. As it soaks down into the rice and hits the pan you should hear a loud hissing sound. Dust the rice with garlic salt and pepper, to your liking. Continue flipping the rice/adding soy sauce until you are happy with the color and pieces of fried chunks. It is usually a very pale brown color.Mix in all the veggies and chicken with the rice, making sure to mix in the seasonings. When things are well mixed, push the rice to the sides of the pan to make a small hole in the center. Crack the 2 eggs into the hole and scramble them (try to avoid mixing in any of the rice or veggies). When the egg is cooked, mix everything together tossing around as much as possible, turn off the heat, and you're done!! You probably now have 7 very hungry people drooling waiting for you after smelling the onions and garlic and peppers for the last 30 minutes... and trust me, they won't be disappointed!Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MLHENDRICKSON.
