Going With the Grain

Janet Groene’s
Rice-Free Chicken Fried Rice
 

    With so many different grains in the supermarket spotlight these days, why not try a new one each time? Add new texture, appearance, taste, nutritional makeup. 
For this recipe you’ll need 3 cups of cooked wheat berries, barley, quinoa, couscous or oat groats. Each has its own cooking directions. It's also fun to try the many different types of rice for variety.

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken cut in small bites
1 cup chopped red and green sweet peppers
Medium onion, diced
1 cup baby lima beans, thawed if frozen
3 cups cooked whole grains
2 eggs, beaten
Soy sauce

    Heat oils and stir-fry chicken, gradually adding peppers, onions and limas. Cover and cook over low heat until chicken is done. Turn heat to high and stir in grain to coat with pan flavors, scraping up brown bits. Add beaten eggs.

    Cook, stirring,  until everything is heated through and eggs are mottled throughout the rice and chicken.  Pass the soy sauce. Serves 4 to 6.
