Thai Noodles and Chicken

How about when you crave something, there is ALWAYS a healthier version, you just have to be creative!!! I absolutely LOVE peanut butter, but was very skeptical to add it to a chicken recipe.  I know many of you probably have had recipes like this before, but sometimes I get a little weird with certain ingredients with other foods.. Like chicken and peanut butter!!

BUT... This recipe was a complete SUCCESS!! Now I get to share it with you!! 

So if you are craving Chinese food, or anything of the sort, this is a perfect healthy alternative for you and the family!! Now, if you have kids, I don't recommend making it as spicy as I do! My kids couldn't it it because of the spice, so I just gave them chicken and noodles!

Healthy Chinese Chicken and Fried Rice!

HEALTHY CHINESE CHICKEN & FRIED RICE

As I am 7 1/2 weeks out from my NPC figure competition, I am CRAVING Chinese food like no other!! I had company over for dinner and made my Clean Chicken Parmesan, so I made my own meal! I was trying to think of what I can use for a sauce that would replace a good fattening Chinese general Tsos sauce lol.... So off to the store I went!

Now I always use Braggs liquid Aminos on pretty much everything, but I wanted something to give it a twist. I am obsessed with The Sriracha sauce and when I was at the store looking at sauces, I came across this one that also makes the Sriracha! Ummm can you say SCORE?!?!!?  ;)- So Here is it! So easy and simple, but yet so YUMMY!

Ingredients: (4- 6 Servings)
- 1 lb Chicken cubed
-1/2 bag frozen corn, peas, carrots, and green bean mix
-1 /4 cup Liquid Aminos
1 tbsp Chili Garlic Sauce (add more if you like a little kick!)
-1 cup cooked brown rice (cook according to box)
-2 egg whites

Directions:

1. Cook Chicken cubes on stove on medium until cooked throughout (approx 20 min)
2. On separate pan, add egg whites, 1/8 cup Braggs liquid Aminos,  and mixed veggies and cook on medium for 5-6 minutes (mixing every 2 minutes)  
3. Add rest of Liquid Aminos and Chili sauce on chicken and cook for 5 more min on medium.
4. Cook on low for 5 minutes.  
5. Add Veggie mixture to chicken and stir.
6. Add brown rice to plate and top off with chicken and veggie mix!
7. ENJOY!
