Quick and Easy Chicken Fried Rice is an economical dinner idea! It’s versatile too – use shrimp, pork, ham or Spam in place of the chicken! The possibilities are endless with this basic recipe – It’s a great way to re-purpose leftovers!
This is one of my family’s favorite recipes! Not only is it easy on the pocketbook, but it rivals the stuff you get at your favorite take-out joint! I actually think I like it better than takeout! I almost always have all of the ingredients on hand to make this tasty Chicken Fried Rice!
One of the great things about this recipe is you can totally change up the protein …. substitute shrimp, pork, ham, Spam, tofu or even go meatless …. you can add whatever veggies you have on hand and if you like, add pineapple and/or ginger! I could eat this stuff every single day and never get tired of it!

I'm a big fan of fried rice but the Hubs, not so much! I may just have to try this for myself at lunch one day!
Thanks for linking up to Mom's Test Meal Mondays!
If you use sesame oil instead of vegetable oil it will taste more authentic. Love it!
