Ingredients to Make Chicken Fried Rice Easy Peasy 

To Make Chicken Fried Rice Recipe you’ll need..

• 2.5 pounds of boneless chicken breasts
• Onion
• Frozen veggies of your choice
• Soy sauce
• Sesame Oil
• Grated Ginger
• Garlic Powder
• Eggs
• Brown Rice

• To make my Freezer Chicken Fried Rice, I begin by sautéing the chicken in a little bit of butter until it is no longer pink in the center.
• Add in chopped onion (it’s already chopped and in my FoodSaver® Fresh Container in the fridge)
• Cook until onion is tender.
• Add all other veggies, sauces, and seasonings, and cook until veggies are cooked through.
• Push chicken mixture over to one side of the pan and add eggs. Cook them, stirring from time to time, until just scrambled.
• Stir entire mixture together and stir in cooked brown rice.
• Salt and pepper to taste.

• This is enough for two complete meals for a family of four.

Can You Freeze Chicken Fried Rice?

Take half of the Chicken Fried Rice and seal in a FoodSaver® bag. Label and freeze until ready to use. To reheat, remove from freezer and cut one corner of the bag to vent and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes, or until heated through. Allow to sit for one minute before removing from bag.

Or while I was visiting my Mama I froze the Chicken Fried Rice in these tupperware-like containers and froze them so she could have them when I was gone or share them with her friends. I would take these out of the containers when ready to eat.  Place in a bowl and reheat in the microwave.  These could be reheated on the stove top as well.

Here is the beautiful and tasty finished product.
