Chicken Fried Rice

My daughter's favorite dinner to make is a Chicken Fried Rice recipe that she learned in school. What a treat! First of all, I get a night off from cooking dinner - Woohoooooo! ...and secondly... it is DELICIOUS!!  It's got quite a few steps but well worth the work. There usually isn't any left but if I manage to put some away in a container it reheats well the next day in the microwave.

You'll have to give it a try and I'd love to know how your family liked it!!

Chicken Fried Rice:

Cut Vegetables - cut up 1 - 2 cups vegetables in small cubes. We use Red pepper, zucchini, carrots and sometimes broccoli or peas.
