Healthy Chicken Fried Rice (Low G.i.) image

Trying to accumulate some recipes that are high in fiber and protein but low in fat. This is actually just as good as regular fried rice. If you can't find fresh bean sprouts, just omit them because the ones in a can are sorta gross! Found that out the hard way!
