Chicken Fried Rice Recipe

By: Gigi Howe

I make this recipe often.  Its a good weeknight meal because its simple to prepare and tastes good.  We always have some leftover for either lunch or another meal.   I always use regular white rice but it would be real tasty with brown rice.  You could even use Minute Rice if you’d like. And even though the recipe is called Chicken “Fried” Rice, it only uses a few tablespoons of oil which is not bad.

Cook the chicken first, then in the same pan you will cook all the vegetables.  Once you combine the vegetables, chicken and rice, you stir in 2 beaten eggs.  When the eggs are absorbed and cooked, your dish is ready to be served.  The eggs seem to keep the whole dish nice and moist.   I let everyone put their own soy sauce on the meal, then everyone is happy.  🙂

To make this dish a little simpler, you can used frozen peas and carrots, or even mixed vegetables, rather than shredding fresh carrots.  And if you don’t care for celery, or any of the other vegetables, you can substitute in your own favorites.

1.  In a large non-stick frying pan cook chicken in 1 tablespoon of oil.  Remove chicken from pan; add second tablespoon of oil, onion and cabbage.  Cook for 5 mins.  Add remaining vegetables and cook for approximately 5 more minutes or until desired tenderness.
