Chicken Fried Rice

Chicken Fried Rice

My chicken fried rice recipe was perfect to make with our Family Bundle of Perdue Farms Proteins box we received.

If it were to my husband I would make chicken fried rice every week for the family.

It used to be one of our favorite take out foods!

We don’t order take out anymore because of our daughter’s peanut allergies. It’s not worth the risk to us.

Instead, I create my own recipes that not only my husband and I love, but our daughter can enjoy it as well.

The most important item when cooking is choosing your protein and the quality of it.

That’s why I was over the moon excited when I learned that Perdue Farms’ launched a new direct-to-consumer website.

How To Make Chicken Fried Rice

Once you have gotten all of your ingredients ready it’s time to cook up some quick and easy fried rice.

My first tip would be to either use leftover white rice from earlier in the week if it was on your menu plan or cook the rice earlier in the day.

You want your rice to be cool or cold when you are making fried rice. This will help with firming the rice. So when you cook it with all your veggies it doesn’t turn mushy or soft.

  • Using a wok or a pan on medium heat cook your diced chicken until completely cooked. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Scoop out cooked chicken and set aside on a clean plate.
  • Add a bit of more oil to your pan and scramble your egg.
  • Scoop out your scrambled eggs and set aside with your chicken.
  • With more oil on your pan saute garlic, carrots, and onions.
  • Add chilled white rice to the pan and mix together with vegetables.
  • Allow the rice to fry for a few minutes.
  • Add cooked chicken, egg, and bean sprouts to your rice mixture.
  • Pour soy sauce and Mirin rice wine over ingredients.
  • Stir everything together and allow the rice to fry for a few more minutes.
  • Serve in a bowl and topped with diced green onions.

A quick and easy chicken fried rice recipe families will love on busy nights!

Easy Way To Make Chicken Fried Rice

Do I Have To Use A Wok For Fried Rice

You don’t have to use a wok for cooking fried rice.

In fact, a pan would work just fine in cooking all of the ingredients.

My favorite reason for using a wok when cooking fried rice is that the heat is evenly spread and I make less of a mess when I’m tossing all of the ingredients together.

Plus, it makes me feel more legit!

Plus, my electric wok was a wedding gift and it still works amazing! Should I mention that my hubby and I will be celebrating 13 years of marriage in March?

That’s how amazing this electric wok is!

How To Make Chicken Fried Rice

Can I Store Fried Rice

Absolutely! Store your chicken fried rice in a closed container in your refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

It makes the perfect leftover for the next day!

Just heat up in a microwave-safe container and enjoy another day of this delicious recipe!

I always make extra so that my husband can take to work for a few days.

How Can I Make This Chicken Fried Rice Recipe Keto

You can easily make keto-friendly chicken fried rice by replacing the rice with cauliflower rice.

The instructions are exactly the same, but instead of adding rice to your vegetables go ahead and add cauliflower rice to keep it low carb, but still tasting delicious.
