My Favorite Chicken Fried Rice Recipe
Say hello to one of my all-time favorite weeknight dinners. ♡
This chicken fried rice recipe is one of those back-pocket, one-skillet, kid-friendly recipes I’ve leaned on for more years than I can count. It uses basic ingredients I almost always have on hand — rice, eggs, chicken, a few veggies, soy sauce. And best of all, it comes together easily in less than 30 minutes. It always feels like a win!
I’ve included my best tips below to make sure the rice gets perfectly golden and crispy (no soggy, steamed rice!). And trust me when it comes to adding in butter — it’s the secret ingredient that makes this recipe go from good to great. Let’s make some!
