with a sprinkle of fancy Chicken Fried Rice

This is a staple recipe that you’ve got to keep on hand. I love this because not only is it so easy to make and quick to throw together, but it uses basic ingredients that you likely always keep on hand. I know this is going to frequent its way to my dinner table. It’s like Chinese take-out but it’s made healthy with the use of brown rice and chicken in place of the traditional ham. Another great thing about this is it’s a meal the entire family can agree on, my husband and I both loved it and my kids devoured it in no time. It’s also so convenient how it s a meal all in one. Save this recipe and be sure to try it soon, you’re going to love it!
