    Chicken Fried Rice

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I stumbled upon this recipe one day after I peared into the fridge to find something for lunch.  There was a small container of leftover rice from the previous nights dinner, so I decided that I would whip up a quick fried rice.  It was delish!  A few nights later I turned that idea into a dinner by adding chicken.  My husband went nuts over it and went back for more and more and more.

    This is a great way to turn a tiny bit of rice into a great big meal!  It's fast, it's easy and I promise you won't be disappointed.

    First take one chicken breast and season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add about a teaspoon of sesame oil to your skillet and heat over a medium flame.  Cook chicken until cooked through and remove.

    Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and cook until fragrant.  Next add in a cup of frozen carrots and peas.

    Move your veggies to the edge of your skillet and crack one egg into the middle.  Quickly scramble to egg and stir into the veggies.

    Next add your leftover rice.  Of course you can make it fresh, but leftover is much much easier. :)

    Add some soy sauce and onion powder to moisten the rice and flavor the the dish.  Lastly cut your chicken into bite sized pieces and stir in to the rice mixture.  Dinner done.  Fast.
