Chicken Fried Rice Restaurant Style that is simple & easy to make. Adapt your veggies to your liking & have your favorite fried rice recipe that is better than take-out!
We love making dinner at home whenever possible. It seems the more we dine out the more we realize that we enjoy our own food far more than anything we can get at a restaurant. There are times that it is nice to avoid the dishes & find some take-out, but for the most part, we enjoy each other’s company while making & eating dinner far more. Things like this Chicken Fried Rice Restaurant Style top our favorites list.

Since we don’t have a lot of really good take-out restaurants here, so over the years I have had to learn how to make all our of favorite dishes from scratch. It’s been good for us because, while we really miss good take-out, this recipe is better than anything I can buy.
You’ll be surprised by how quickly this recipe comes together. You can make it even faster if you have a rotisserie chicken, leftover rice & use canned veggies instead of fresh or frozen. It’s really up to you & how much time you have.
But even without all those shortcuts, this still only takes about 40 minutes. That’s not too bad considering the main dish takes about that long too. Unless of course, you make a delish slow cooker recipe to pair this with. That sure makes dinner quick & easy.
If you love fried rice, you will love this recipe. Feel free to substitute or swap veggies based on your liking. That’s what I love about this recipe, I can pick & choose what to toss in based on what I have on hand or what everyone is craving at the time.
