Garlic Chicken Fried Rice

This delicious Garlic Chicken Fried Rice recipe is not only incredibly flavorful but also fits perfectly into a healthy lifestyle. It is a great choice for those following the Slimming World or Weight Watchers program, as it is gluten-free and dairy-free.

To start, cook the rice according to the package instructions, and while it’s cooking, prepare the other ingredients. You’ll need boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh, which is cooked to perfection in a frying pan with a sprinkle of black pepper. The chicken is then coated with a tablespoon of soy sauce, giving it a savory and slightly tangy flavor. Once golden and coated, set the chicken aside for later.

In the same pan, you’ll sauté a combination of diced onion, crushed garlic, and freshly grated ginger until they become fragrant and tender. Next, add diced carrot, chopped mushrooms, peas, and red bell pepper, cooking them for a few minutes until they are slightly softened
