Allen's Chicken Fried Rice
This favorite recovery meal is the same recipe that Dr. Allen Lim presented to a class of third graders and the process below is the same one he uses to serve it to athletes at training camps, races, or impromptu dinners in his kitchen in Boulder, Colorado. It's one of the staples we serve from our food trailer when cooking for athletes and at events all over the country. We think you'll enjoy it too!

1. Bring a lightly oiled sauté pan to medium-high heat. Add the garlic and green onions and sauté for about 1 minute.
2. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and soy sauce vigorously and pour into the hot pan. The pan should be hot enough to cause the eggs to fluff. Stir the eggs to cook them quickly.
3. Add the rice and cooked chicken thighs and fry the mixture for 5–6 minutes.
4. Add the peas and corn, and cook until the vegetables heat through and are vibrant in color.
Season to taste with salt, Sriracha sauce, and additional soy sauce or sesame oil. Enjoy!
