What's for Dinner?: Chicken Fried Rice

















This is the Southern Living recipe for fried rice and it is excellent! This is not the healthiest recipe I will share, but its a lot healthier (and definitely less greasy!) than fried rice from a restaurant. So, when Austin and I get a craving for Asian food, this is our go-to recipe! I like serving this with steamed broccoli. 


Ingredients

3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup chopped cooked meat (you can use chicken, beef or shrimp- if you use chicken, it will be about 1 large, boneless, skinless chicken breast)
3 cups cooked rice (you can use white or brown rice)
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder


Preparation Instructions

Cook meat in a small skillet and set aside. Cook rice, measure out three cups and set aside.

Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat 1-2 minutes. Add eggs and gently stir 1 minute or until softly scrambled. Remove eggs from skillet and chop.

Heat remaining 2 Tablespoons of oil in skillet. Add onion and stir fry for 3 minutes. Add chopped, cooked meat and stir fry 2 minutes.

Add rice, soy sauce and garlic powder. Stir fry 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in egg.

Serve immediately.
