Delicious Chicken Fried Rice Recipe

Today, I am sharing a Delicious Chicken Fried Rice Recipe with you. This is the perfect meal for busy weeknights when you want something hearty but only have a little time to cook.

It is especially easy to make using leftover rice and already-cooked chicken.

Sometimes, I get a rotisserie, make some chicken sandwiches for lunch for the family, and save the rest for this recipe.

I love that this is a complete meal in one pan, packed with tender chicken, fluffy rice, and vibrant veggies.

The best part? You can easily customize it with the ingredients you have on hand, making it a great way to use up leftover rice or vegetables.

In no time,  you’ll have a satisfying, savoury meal that the whole family will love, with minimal cleanup required!

Tip: The rice has to be cold to fry properly. If you don’t have leftover rice from the day before, make sure you cook the rice early in the day and leave it in the fridge to fully cool down before you make this meal.
