Protein-Loaded Chicken Fried Rice Recipe

This healthy chicken fried rice recipe is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of AllWhites Egg Whites for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Today I’m bringing you a healthy, colorful dinner full of protein, fiber, and flavor! You’ll love this quick Chicken Fried Rice and will want to make it again and again. This Asian-inspired dinner is made with  AllWhites Egg Whites instead of whole eggs to keep it low in fat.

Besides the health benefits of eating All Whites instead of whole eggs, they are also much less wasteful than separating eggs yourself and discarding the yolks. I took a look at their website to make sure I wasn’t making that theory up. I was happy to read that they give the yolks to other food processing services to make products like mayonnaise, and the shells are ground to use in animal feed. I love that they aren’t wasting a thing!

I made this easy chicken fried rice wish a shortcut: I used instant brown rice, which is ready in about 10 minutes. Using leftover rice would be great too. I don’t mind making regular brown rice sometimes, but on most days it’s hard to have 40 minutes to cook rice!

One quick tip before I get to the recipe: I was a little surprised at how long it took for the All Whites to start to cook. As the recipe instructs, I pushed the rice to the sides of the pan and created a little well in the center for my egg whites. I reduced the heat to low, poured in the All Whites, and it seemed like nothing happened for quite some time. I’d say it was a good five minutes before it started to set up, but then it happened pretty quickly. I just thought I’d pass that along in case you started to panic about having a pool of raw eggs in the middle of your lovely rice. Be patient, and it will all come together!
