Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to gather before you start cooking:

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or a little olive oil for frying

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to whip up your Lighter Chicken Egg Foo Young:

  2. Add in the cooked chicken, bean sprouts, green onions, and bell peppers. Mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper, making sure all the flavors come together into a delicious blend.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a little olive oil.
  5. Pour in about half a cup of the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out to form a pancake.
