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.
This Easy Fried Rice Recipe 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 only copmplained because he could see them.
