Chicken fried rice is not a healthy meal option, but many people love to savour it while eating out during weekends or during fun get-togethers. If you are ready to spend a little time in the kitchen, you can prepare a comparatively healthy chicken fried rice at home. That will help you limit or avoid the ingredients you aren't too keen to consume, as well. Here's how to go about it:

2 cups of basmati rice
250 grams of boneless chicken
2 eggs
4 cloves of garlic
1 small piece of ginger, sliced

Keep it aside for 10 minutes
Boil sufficient water in a pan and add rice

When the rice is almost cooked, switch off the flame and strain it
(You can do the same the previous day and keep it in the refrigerator after cooling to room temperature, as this can make the fried rice tastier)

Don't make the chicken crispy
Remove the chicken and scramble eggs in the same pan with pepper and salt
Keep the eggs aside
Sauté the sliced garlic, ginger, onion and other vegetables again in the same pan
