Chicken Fried Rice #dinner #weeknight

Sk�p the take-out and make th�s easy ch�cken fr�ed r�ce at home. �t�s a s�mple weekn�ght d�nner that�s so budget fr�endly, and �t�s a real crowd-pleaser!

My fam�ly �s �n a season of l�fe where we hardly ever eat a meal �n a restaurant. � don�t even know what the cool places are anymore. �s anybody feel�ng me on th�s?!

We have two small ch�ldren, and household expenses are as t�ght as ever. So we avo�d restaurants for pract�cal reasons. But there �s no need for us to be depr�ved of our favor�te restaurant d�shes! Heck, some are even better made at home. � would put th�s ch�cken fr�ed r�ce �nto that category. When you make �t yourself, you can use really great qual�ty �ngred�ents.

� make my ch�cken fr�ed r�ce w�th leftover r�ce. �f you are mak�ng r�ce just for th�s rec�pe, �d suggest do�ng �t ahead of t�me and putt�ng �t �n the fr�dge to cool. �t just makes the texture of the fr�ed r�ce better.

Also, can we just talk about sesame o�l for a second? Where has th�s stuff been all my l�fe?! � am us�ng the toasted sesame o�l from Trader Joe�s. �t �s perfect�on! �t g�ves the ch�cken fr�ed r�ce th�s awesome, authent�c flavor. �t �s what my fr�ed r�ce has been m�ss�ng all along.
