Remove fat or gristle from chicken. Split each piece into 2 thin layers, then cut layers into strips about 2-inches long, 1/4-inch wide. Cook rice according to package directions (omit margarine). Heat oil in skillet or wok, add chicken. Stir constantly until chicken turns white and is slightly brown (approximately 2 minutes).

Cook gently 6 to 7 minutes, tightly covered. Add bean sprouts to cooked vegetables; cover and cook gently another 2 minutes. Each serving consists of 1/2 cup cooked rice with 1 cup chicken mixture.
