Light soy sauce, lean chicken, and brown rice make this recipe for fried rice a healthier choice. It's lower in sodium, contains lean protein, and the brown rice is a better source of fiber than white rice.

This was delicious! I made a few shortcuts and it was fantastic. I used dried spring onions (dehydrated kind) because I did not have fresh green onions on hand. I also used microwave organic brown rice which saved a great deal of time. I did not use any peppers, but added one egg to the 2nd TBSP of oil before placing the rice in it. Very flavorful--thanks for the recipe!
