Chicken Fried Rice

Chicken fried rice is hearty and flavorful and a perfect weeknight dinner!

Who doesn't love Chicken Fried Rice? It's a popular item on the menu at Chinese Food Restaurants. But it's pretty easy to make at home, and much healthier. After trying this you'll never go back to takeout again.

You can use fresh or frozen veggies and even leftover chicken. The ingredients are pretty common, and it's a quick and easy meal to put together. If I don't have any leftover rice, I just make some up in my rice cooker and then chill it for a bit so it gets a little hard.

• Heat butter in a skillet add eggs and cook until scrambled. Set aside
• Add the remaining butter and add carrots and onions and cook just until soft about 5 minutes.
