Chícken Fríed Ríce

Skíp the take-out and make thís easy chícken fríed ríce at home. ít’s a símple weekníght dínner that’s so budget fríendly, and ít’s a real crowd-pleaser!

My famíly ís ín a season of lífe where we hardly ever eat a meal ín a restaurant. í don’t even know what the cool places are anymore. ís anybody feelíng me on thís?!

We have two small chíldren, and household expenses are as tíght as ever. So we avoíd restaurants for practícal reasons.

But there ís no need for us to be depríved of our favoríte restaurant díshes!
Heck, some are even better made at home. í would put thís chícken fríed ríce ínto that category. When you make ít yourself, you can use really great qualíty íngredíents.

í used whíte jasmíne ríce here because ít ís my husband and son’s favoríte, but feel free to use brown ríce. í have done that many tímes before, and ít ís equally delícíous.

And let’s talk about butter. You can totally make thís recípe wíth canola oíl ínstead, but let me híghly recommend butter!

íf you’ve ever been to one of those Japanese steakhouses where they cook ín front of you, thís wíll come as no shock to you. There ís a reason they use butter. ít ís truly better.

And í am not usíng a stíck of ít a la Paula Deen.😉 í used two tablespoons for the whole dísh, whích ís plenty ín my opíníon.
