Savory Chicken Fried Rice
We love that this Savory Chicken Fried Rice can be prepared and served as is or you can modify it to your own preferences. It's our twist on a classic, comfort food that we both love!
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice (I like basmati or jasmine rice)
- 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 2 Tbsp. avocado oil
- 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 2 cups frozen peas and diced carrots (I find a bag of these at Target, but feel free to use whatever frozen veggies you can find or have on hand.)
- 2 eggs (whisked in a small bowl)
- 1 cup chopped rotiserrie chicken (optional)
- 2 Tbsp. coconut aminos
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
Instructions
- Start by preparing the rice. In a sauce pan, combine the rice and broth.
- Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce heat to low.
- In a medium to large skillet, add the avocado oil and garlic. Turn the heat to a medium high heat and mix to allow the oil to absorb the garlic flavor.
- Then add in the frozen veggies and sautee until soft.
- If you haven't already, whisk your two eggs in a smaller bowl and set aside.
- Once the rice is done, remove from heat and set aside.
- To the softened vegetables, add in the rice, chicken, coconut aminos, and onion powder. Stir to combine.
- Create a well in the middle and then pour in your scrambled eggs. Move them around with a spoon or spatula until they are cooked through and then mix them into the rest of the ingredients.
- Taste it and add salt or pepper to your taste! Add the chopped green onion and enjoy!
