Healthier Chicken Fried Rice

I had some left over brown rice in the refrigerator and decided to make somewhat healthy fried rice. This recipe was originally found on Skinnytaste.  It's packed with protein from the edamame, eggs, and chicken breast. Joe was bummed to miss out on this one.

You will need:

Left over brown rice, about 3 cups

cooked chicken breast, chopped

1 cup edamame

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1 egg

2 egg whites

5 shallots, greens and white separated

1 garlic clove, minced

cooking spray

tamari soy sauce

In a frying pan, add cooking spray and scramble the egg and egg whites. Set eggs aside. In the same frying pan, turn up the heat and sauté the garlic, chicken, carrots, and the white part of the shallots for about one minute. Add the rice, edamame, scrambled eggs and green parts of the shallots. Mix all together and heat until rice is hot. Top with soy sauce to taste. DELISH! And super filling. I'm stuffed!

**This goes great with a glass of white wine!  Next time I might consider adding some sesame seeds to mix it up a little bit. Also, the original recipe called for a chopped onion to be included when sautéing the first set of ingredients, but if you know my blog... I don't do onions.
