Chicken Fried Rice Recipe

Chicken Fried Rice . . . this easy dinner recipe is colorful, healthy, and delicious. You can adapt it to your family’s taste!

This recipe came about one night because I had some leftover rice. We love ham fried rice, but alas, we had no ham. So I tried chicken and threw in a few other ingredients. Chicken Fried Rice was born.

We all loved it, so I have made it several times since then. I usually just throw all the ingredients in the electric skillet, so I had to measure everything this time so I could post something that actually made sense.

You can adapt any of the vegetables to suit your own taste (or to use what you have in your refrigerator.) It is a great dinner that can prepared in just minutes, and the leftovers are fabulous.
