In a hot skillet combine and stir everything together and cook on med-high until the pieces of egg are browned.<br />Total Prep Time: ~15 mins (if chicken is already cooked)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nutritional Information </span><br /><ul><li>Calories: 470</li><li>Fat: 23.8 g (mostly from olive oil)<br /></li><li>Carbohydrates: 38 g<br /></li><li>Protein: 32.5 g</li><li>Sodium: 225 mg (amount w/o added salt)<br /></li></ul>I think it would be good to add some soy sauce as far as taste goes, be careful though, soy sauce has a ton of sodium. Some peas and corn would also be good in it, and they add a fairly insignificant amount of carbs, but the more you add, the more time it takes, and I like quick meals.<br /><br />Overall I'm happy with how balanced this meal is, and how quickly I was able to prepare it (the 15 mins was rounded up), when I made it I added a little extra rice for more carbs and some salt, this was my post workout meal so I could afford it. One last thing, the veggies weren't really measured, the amounts above are just approximations, add as many veggies as you like.Nicholas Kammhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03936239458805472636noreply@blogger.com0
