This simple recipe for chicken fried rice is as great as takeout and super simple to make. This homemade version, loaded with fresh vegetables, is healthier while still full of flavor. It’s ideal for a meal and the leftovers also taste nice!
I like a nice Chinese takeaway, and it’s a must for chicken fried rice! All the flavors you would expect from an ordered in (or out!) dish are still in this homemade version, but it’s a lot healthier. Chicken Fried Rice is so easy to make, so get out and try this homemade version this week-you’re going to enjoy it!
It is really full of calories, even though the restaurant version of this dish is yummy, but I’m not even actually going to say how high the sodium is! You could make a healthier homemade version of your favorite rice dish with a few basic swaps. Do not overdo it! Be aware to use a low sodium soy sauce, and you need a little canola or vegetable oil. You could also use whole grain rice instead of white rice if you’d like to make it even healthier.
