Chicken Fried Rice
Chicken Fried Rice – a famous street food, that we recreate in different ways at home. We all have had different varieties of chicken fried rice. Each place has its own style of this wonderful recipe. Some places, they add fried chicken, some add boiled chicken, some go for shredded chicken while others put chicken cubes. Any form, it is one of the delicious recipes to try and eat. Here. I'm presenting one of such versions, but very easy to follow. So why not try this recipe then? When we are in kitchen after a busy week day, and do not have much time or strength for a long and detailed dinner, this is the right recipe to cook. If you have some left over cooked rice in the fridge, and some chicken in the freezer, then you are good with a yummy protein rich chicken fried rice in less than 30mins. Also, if you are looking for a yummy lunch or tiffin recipe, again this is the right recipe for you. As it is loaded with chicken pieces, it is hence a protein rich food and also a healthier version as well, because I'm adding only cooked chicken and not fried ones. The soy sauce adds its own flavor and color, but if you do not like it, its totally fine to skip, but just need to add 1 more tablespoon of chicken stock to the ones given in the recipe as the stock has all the flavor of chicken.
