Chicken Fried Rice

Chicken Fried Rice is easy to make specially if you are using some precooked Chicken pieces. I use Perdue Chicken Breast Shortcuts while making fried rice. I suggest all of you should try Perdue Shortcuts whether it is salad, fried rice or noodles.

Chicken Fried Rice

Ingredients

  • Long grain Basmati rice – 3 cups
  • Cooked Chicken pieces – 2 cups
  • Onion, thinly sliced – 1
  • Spring Onions, finely chopped – 1 Bunch (separate the greens and whites)
  • Carrot, finely chopped – 1/2 cup
  • Cabbage, finely chopped – 1/2 cup
  • French Beans, finely chopped – 1 cup
  • Broccoli Florets – 2 cups
  • Green Peas – 1/4 cup
  • Oil/Butter – 4 tbsp
  • Aji-no-moto (MSG) – 1/4 tsp
  • Soy sauce – 2 tbsp
  • Red Chilli sauce – 2 tsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Pepper Powder – as required

Preparation Method

  1. Boil the Basmati rice with a little salt and 1 tsp oil, till each grain is separate and almost cooked. Drain and allow it to cool. I cooked rice on the previous day and refrigerated it overnight. This really helps in making a good fried rice which is not sticky.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan and add onions and saute till translucent.
  3. Add all the vegetables (except the green spring onions and broccoli) along with salt and stir fry for around 5-7 minutes till it almost cooked but crispy.
  4. Next add the precooked chicken pieces and sprinkle pepper. Stir fry around 5 minutes.
  5. Add half of the green spring onions along with broccoli and stir for a minute and keep everything aside. (Broccoli and spring onions cook really fast and so they are added only at the end.)
  6. Heat another wok or Frying Pan and add 2 tbsps of oil/butter.
  7. Add the cooked rice and stir-fry for a few minutes so that it gets a light brown color.
  8. Stir in the cooked vegetables and chicken and combine everything gently.
  9. Make a hollow at the center and pour the beaten eggs. Scramble until the egg sets. Break and mix with rice. Season with salt and pepper.
  10. Blend in soy sauce and chilly sauce.
  11. Sprinkle a pinch of ajinomoto for more taste. (optional)
  12. Mix everything gently till the rice is evenly coated with the sauces. Fry the rice on medium-high for another 2 minutes. You can sprinkle some more pepper powder.
  13. Garnish with remaining green spring onions.
  14. The Fried Rice is ready to be served hot.

Note

  1. If you want to reduce the amount of oil or butter, you can skip steps 6 and 7. Instead, add the boiled rice directly without frying to the cooked vegetables and chicken.
  2. If you are using Fresh uncooked Chicken pieces, then please do the following:-
  3. Clean the chicken and chop it into small pieces.
  4. Marinate the chicken with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet and add the chicken pieces. Add some teriyaki sauce or soy sauce and cook the chicken on medium heat till it becomes tender.

    Hi
    There was no mention of the amount of chicken in your recipe
    Looks lovely. I wanted to try now

    Hi Rachel,

    Thanks a lot for reminding me. I have edited the recipe to mention the amount of chicken used.

    Thanks
    Jisha

    The recipe looks good. Had to mention the Purdue chicken,I would not use it. Purdue chickens mistreat their chicken, use antibiotic and growth hormones. They are bad for you. I would opt for free range, antibiotic free and if possible organic chicken.

      Thanks for the suggestion Aaina.. I use Perdue Chicken only once in a while, when I am in a hurry. Else I try using organic varieties.

      Regards
