Chicken and Vegetable Fried Rice

This family friendly Chicken and Vegetable Fried Rice recipe is the perfect easy weeknight (or weekend for that matter!) dinner and gets a big thumbs up from our entire household!

When I think about my go to recipes, this Chicken and Vegetable Fried Rice is up there with my favourites.  Not only do we all love it (and I end up with two empty little bowls on the table!) but it’s the perfect way to use up any vegetables we have in the crisper as well as any chicken, ham or any other meat (yep we’ve even had this with sausages) you also have which needs to be used.

You can really be as creative as you like when it comes to what vegetables you add, I often throw in zucchini, broccoli and even boiled eggs to this recipe.  If you need any more encouragement to make this recipe, here it is: it’s freezer friendly! What are you waiting for?!?
