Healthy Chicken Fried Rice

Cheryl White
This chicken fried rice is made in a healthy way, without frying the rice. This is very easy to make and my family really likes this meal. You can make this with organic brown rice or quinoa or cauliflower rice.
Brown rice is known to contain arsenic, a heavy metal that accumulates and can cause health issues. If you would like to use brown rice in this recipe, I highly recommend purchasing brown rice that is tested for purity from heavy metals and glyphosate (Round-Up spray). See the RECIPE NOTES section for the brand that I personally choose when making brown rice for my family.
