Who doesn’t love puppy chow? The easiness of grabbing it out of the bag and getting a mouthful of sugar, peanut butter and chocolate. There is NOTHING better! Over the years I have been trying to perfect this simple recipe with different techniques and different

Chicken Fried Rice

Chicken Fried Rice

Something I absolutely LOVE to make for dinners in college, chicken fried rice. Super delicious, a great way to get protein and vegetables, and can last for a few meals for the week. This is also up to interpretation depending on your taste and what you have around the house. Below is the way I make my chicken fried rice, but feel free to make any changes you would like!

 

2 eggs (scrambled)

1 bag of mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans)

1 chicken breast (grilled)

Soy sauce

 

First, scramble 2 eggs in one pan. In another pan, grill the chicken and cut into bite-sized pieces. Then, steam or cook the veggies in a separate pan. Lastly, combine eggs, chicken, and veggies together into a large pan. While everything is cooking together, add soy sauce to cover every ingredient and help everything cook together. Once everything is coated and grilled, it’s done! Great for one meal, or several during the week! Hope you enjoy.
