This easy Chicken Fried Rice is another recipe which helps clear out the vegetable crisper, and can also be frozen. Feel free to use whatever you have in your fridge, I used the below ingredients for the rice pictured. If you want to make it even healthier, use brown rice and omit the bacon.
This is also a great meal for kids, you just need to cut everything up into smaller pieces. I then freeze leftovers into small containers for a quick and easy toddler meals.

I always make fried rice with leftover rice, if we have any. I love using left over pork roast in it too, so if we have left overs from that it’s always fried rice the next day xx
