Easy Fried Rice with Chicken

Have leftover chicken or rice?  This easy Fried Rice with Chicken is a quick and easy meal you can get on the table in 15 minutes.  (Or less if you don't have to cook the rice!)

We eat a lot of Tex-Mex inspired meals around here so this Asian favored dish was a yummy departure from the norm.  I used leftover chopped chicken that I cooked the other night and instant brown rice.  The dish got 2 thumbs up from the hubby and daughter and only one thumb up from my son.  He complained about the peas, but I fed him a few bites with the peas hidden and he never even knew they were there.  He was only complaining because he could see them...

• 3 to4 garlic gloves, minced or about 1 tsp garlic powder

Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute about 2 to 3 minutes.

Lower the heat to medium low and push the mixture to one side of the pan.
Add the eggs to the empty half of the skillet and scramble the eggs.
