Super Fast Weeknight Meal – Chicken Fried Rice

This is the perfect thing to do when you have leftovers in the fridge that need to get used. All you really need is leftover brown rice, some form of protein and whatever veggies you have on hand, and in about 15 minutes you have a delicious, healthy meal. That’s faster than fast food or pizza delivery, and you get to clean your fridge out at the same time!

This is the recipe for what I did the last time I made this, but you can use whatever meat you want, or you can throw in a couple of eggs when you add the rice as a  yummy substitute for the meat. The veggies can be swapped out depending on what you have on hand, too. Broccoli would be great in here, or green or red peppers, so many options!
