Chicken Fried Rice #Friedrice #Weeknight

Skíp the take-out and make thís easy chícken fríed ríce at home. ít’s a símple weekníght dínner that’s so budget fríendly, and ít’s a real crowd-pleaser!

My famíly ís ín a season of lífe where we hardly ever eat a meal ín a restaurant. í don’t even know what the cool places are anymore. ís anybody feelíng me on thís?!

We have two small chíldren, and household expenses are as tíght as ever. So we avoíd restaurants for practícal reasons.

But there ís no need for us to be depríved of our favoríte restaurant díshes!

Heck, some are even better made at home. í would put thís chícken fríed ríce ínto that category. When you make ít yourself, you can use really great qualíty íngredíents.

í make my chícken fríed ríce wíth leftover ríce. íf you are makíng ríce just for thís recípe, í’d suggest doíng ít ahead of tíme and puttíng ít ín the frídge to cool. ít just makes the texture of the fríed ríce better.

Also, can we just talk about sesame oíl for a second? Where has thís stuff been all my lífe?! í am usíng the toasted sesame oíl from Trader Joe’s. ít ís perfectíon!👌🏻

ít gíves the chícken fríed ríce thís awesome, authentíc flavor. ít ís what my fríed ríce has been míssíng all along.
