My husband loves chicken fried rice and while I don't mind getting the take out version, sometimes, it's just easier to make it at home.

This recipe needs just a handful of basic ingredients and tastes just as good! 

Ingredients Needed

• Chicken
• Rice
• Egg
• Soy sauce
• Mixed vegetables
• Oil
• Salt/Pepper/Minced garlic
• Green onions, optional 

Recipe Notes

• Chicken:  I cooked boneless chicken breast for ours, because, honestly, I had it in my freezer.  However, you can use already cooked chicken for this.  It can be chopped or shredded, your choice.  A cup of cooked chicken is a good amount to start with.
• Mixed Vegetables:  Again, I used what we had in our freezer.  It was a frozen bag of mixed veggies.  You can use stir fry veggies or an Oriental mix too.  Of course, you can also use fresh vegetables, your choice! 
• Rice:  White, brown or a mixture of both will do the trick.  Just be sure your rice is already cooked.
• Seasoning:  We are pretty simple eaters around here.  So, if you wish to increase your garlic or want to add a few more spices ( ginger, onion, etc), go for it!
