Make Your Own Takeout: Easy Chicken and Veggie Fried Rice

November 13, 2014

I love making my own takeout because I can control what I put into it and keep it on the healthier side. One of my favorite at home “takeout” meals to make is chicken and veggie fried rice. The best thing is, it can be made with leftover chicken and veggies that I usually have hanging around in my fridge. It’s economical, healthy, and a one bowl dinner that comes together in minutes. I like to toss chicken into it to up the protein content, but you can easily keep this vegetarian. It’s a beautiful way to use up leftovers and a dish the entire family will enjoy. rice1
