            1/2 cup long-grain white rice

            1 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (12 ounces total)

            Salt and freshly ground pepper

            1 tablespoons vegetable oil

           1 large eggs

            2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal

Directions

.                 Cook rice according to package instructions; set aside. Pound breast 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 egg; 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
