Equipment

  • 1 non-stick pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup Jasmine Rice uncooked
  • 4 large Eggs whisked
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 6 Cremini Mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cups Snap Peas chopped
  • 8 ounces Cooked Chicken Breast chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt divided
  • 1/4 cup Chives plus more for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook the rice according to the directions on the package.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the eggs to the pan and move them around with a spatula continuously until fluffy, about two minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • In the same pan, heat the water over medium to medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, snap peas, chicken and half the salt, scraping up any bits at the bottom of the pan. Cook for about five minutes, or until the water has absorbed and the mushrooms are soft, and the snap peas are tender crisp.
  • Stir in the scrambled eggs, cooked rice, and chives, breaking up any large chunks. Season with the remaining salt to taste. Divide into bowls and garnish with additional chives(optional). Enjoy!
