Dice the chicken breast into small pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Finely chop the onion and carrot.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it begins to brown.
Add the chopped onion and carrot to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the cooked brown rice and green peas, then add the soy sauce and half of the ketchup. Mix well to combine all ingredients. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and set aside.
In a bowl, beat the eggs and egg whites together with milk, salt, and black pepper.
In a clean nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, swirling to cover the bottom of the pan evenly.
As the eggs start to set but are still slightly runny on top, add the rice mixture on one half of the egg sheet.
Gently fold the other half over the rice to form an omelet. Slide the omurice onto a plate.
Drizzle the remaining ketchup over the top in a zigzag pattern for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the high protein omurice.
