Chicken Fried Rice is a delicious supper & done in a flash. It's a great "take out" dish that you can make at home.

To begin, dice 2 chicken breasts into ¾ inch pieces.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of coconut oil over medium high heat.

Toss in diced onion & chicken and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in frozen mixed vegetables and cover. Cook until the chicken is just cooked through, 2-3 more minutes.

While it cooks, whisk an egg in a small bowl.

When the chicken is just cooked through, add in the cooked cold rice and soy sauce. Cook and stir until it is all fairly uniform in color with the soy sauce mixed into the rice. Cook for 2 minutes, until the rice gets a little bit of color here and there.

Move the fried rice to the sides of the skillet, clearing a space in the center. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil in the cleared space.

Pour in the beaten egg. Stir and cook until the egg is scrambled and cooked through.

Once the egg is cooked, mix it into the fried rice. That’s it!

Serve with additional soy sauce if you like.

Enjoy!
