Just Add Butter: Recipe 1

I am slowly working my way through attempting ten new dinner recipes! 

The first {successful} recipe is Homemade Chicken Fried Rice. 

Coach is a huge fan of Asian food and I only eat Chicken Fried Rice.  I’m just not someone who likes to try new things.   This week we attempted my only favorite at home.  It was a weeknight so there are no pictures.  Sorry y’all!

Chicken Fried Rice

2 cups white rice (cooked)

3 tablespoons sesame oil

2 cups frozen peas & carrots

1 small onion, finely chopped

3 eggs slightly beaten

soy sauce (to taste)

Cooked chicken

·       Pan cooked my chicken with salt & pepper in a large skillet with olive oil.  Chop into bite sized pieces & set aside.  (You could also use any cooked chicken).

·       In a large skillet combine sesame oil, chopped onion, peas & carrots.  Stir-fry until tender.  Move mixture to one side of the skillet.

·       Add your eggs to the empty side of the skillet and scramble.

·       Mix eggs and veggies together.

·       Add in rice & chicken.  Mix together well.

·       Add in soy sauce and stir-fry until well blended.

This recipe is a cut back version, originally I made WAY too much rice and there were not enough veggies to satisfy my husband or egg to satisfy me!  This will easily become a staple in our monthly menu rotation.

Any thoughts on spicing up my chicken to have more of an “Asian flavor”??

Happy eats y’all!
