    Nicea’s Favorite Chicken Fried Rice {And Mine Too!}

    chicken fried rice 8

    As many of you know, I used to produce a daily talk show in Salt Lake City called Good Things Utah. One of the amazingly beautiful and talented hosts of the show, Nicea DeGering, also happens to be one of my favorite people in the whole world. :-)  And NOT just because she gave me one of our family’s FAVORITE recipes…Nicea’s Favorite Chicken Fried Rice!  (That’s just ONE of the reasons!)

    I just love this gal!

    I was making this the other night and I realized that I had not shared it in a post yet! I could hardly believe I had committed such a HUGE oversight! I knew it had to be corrected right away!  After you make it (and see how easy it is!) and taste it (and see how yummy it is!) you will understand!

    So without further ado….I present to you a FAVORITE recipe from one of my FAVORITE people…..

    Nicea’s FAVORITE Fried Rice

    • 1-2 chicken breasts or 10 chicken tenders (cut into very small pieces)
    • 1/4 cup (gluten-free) soy sauce for marinating
    • 3 scrambled eggs
    • 2 carrots (finely grated) – I use 1/2 a bag of frozen peas and carrots when I’m in a hurry….which is always!
    • 1/2 white onion (finely chopped) – I use 1/2 a bag of frozen chopped onions when I’m in a hurry….which is always!
    • 3/4 cup frozen peas (see above comments)
    • 1/2 cup melted butter
    • 1-2 garlic cloves (minced) or 1 tsp. garlic powder
    • 2 cups cooked white rice (not instant)

    chicken fried rice

    Marinate chicken in soy sauce. Or if you’re in a hurry (which I always am!), just add to cut up chicken before cooking.

    In a large frying pan, cook chicken in a small amount of olive oil.

    Hello
    Is there any way to print stuff from your fantastic site with just the recipe and not all the comments too? If so can you tell me how. Thanks

    Corinne,
    Right above where the comments start on the right is a button that says cleanprint with a little green leaf…it will let you remove any sections that you dont want so you can print just the recipe – and the comments are automatically excluded if you print it that way :-) I just used it to print this recipe and it’s just over a half a page!

    I made this for dinner last night and it was a hit. My husband usually does not like recipes that I get on line but he loved this dish. It makes a great deal and there is only the two of us now, so we had enough for another meal along with a salad, Thanks for the new dish, I will be making this again.
    I look forward to your bright emails each day. Anne

    This is so delicious with green onions added at the end. Such a simple addition but makes a big difference in taste.
