Chicken Fried Rice

It’s nice when you make up a recipe that is simple and easy to prepare that also tastes so delicious your family asks you to make it weekly. This chicken fried rice dish is always the one asked for. 

 

This chicken fried rice dish is one that I make at least every other week with variations like adding in more spices or simple ingredients such as scallions or sesame seeds.

I will list the suggested spices and ingredients to jazz the dish up once in a while. To be honest, it’s really delicious as is. 

A note about the recipe, it yields about 6 main course servings. You can easily double or triple the recipe and keeps in the fridge for a couple of days.

Here’s the easy way to make chicken fried rice…

Directions:

  1. Heat a large nonstick fry pan or wok with oil and butter. Swirl around until hot, try not to burn the oil and butter. 
  2. Toss onion and cook for just a minute or two. Add in cooked rice and toss for about a minute. Add in scrambled eggs, garlic powder and pepper. Continue to cook. 
  3. Toss in peas and carrots and gently mix to incorporate. Now, add in the soy sauce. Keep stirring until you see the rice start to get some color. Just a little. Toss in chicken and cook until heated. That’s it, you’re done! Plate up!!

Here are some additional ingredients you may want to add in on occasion – 1 cup frozen corn, 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 2 tbsp dark sesame sauce stirred in at the end of cooking, 2 tsp minced garlic for more garlic flavor, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 2 tsp sriracha sauce. These are just a few ingredients that I have added in the past. My suggestion, try this recipe as is the first time. YUM!
