Chicken Fried Rice

Fried Rice is one of my favorites. You can switch up the vegetables, proteins, and eat it for days and days for leftovers and it never gets old. My take on fried rice comes together in 30 minutes and you'd be surprised to find you most likely have most of these ingredients on hand!
