Chunks of chicken breast make this Chinese favorite a satisfying main dish; snow peas add crunch and vitamin C.

Ingredients

1 cup long-grain white rice
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (12 ounces total)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal
1 teaspoon grated and peeled fresh ginger
½ cup diced red bell pepper (about 1 small pepper)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon sugar
½ cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
1 cup snow peas, trimmed, sliced on the diagonal into thirds

Directions

Cook rice according to package instructions; set aside. Pound breasts with a mallet until 1/4 inch thick. Cut into strips (each 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide). Season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Cook chicken until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium; add remaining tablespoon oil. Add eggs; just as whites begin to set, stir to scramble. Add scallions and ginger; cook 1 minute. Add reserved rice and bell pepper; cook 2 minutes. Stir together soy sauce, sugar, and stock; add to skillet. Add snow peas and reserved chicken; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
