Chicken Fried Rice

About this Recipe...

Chicken fried rice is a quick and easy Indo-Chinese rice dish with sautéd chicken and lots of vegetables. We all love Indo-Chinese food and it is a very common menu item in most of the restaurants. You can easily make it at home and can get the same taste or even better taste. In this recipe, I have used eggs also, so if you want to make egg fried rice or vegetable fried rice then skip adding chicken and the rest of the method will be same.
Leftover rice will work great for this recipe, so if you have some leftover rice, chicken, vegetables and all the sauces then you can make it on no time. So do try this easy recipe at home and serve it with gobi Manchuria, chicken Manchurian or any other Indo-Chinese delicacy.
