Use Your Leftovers to make Fried Rice!

Here's a tip for all you Costco shoppers: Always buy 2 rotisserie chickens.  Serve the first to your family that day you buy it (I keep mine in warming drawer) and use the second for a salad, casserole, soup.

This recipe for fried rice is a great way to use up extra cooked chicken, steak, bbq, you name it.   Hope you give it a try!

Fried Rice

3 cups cooked white rice (made from 1 cup dry according to package directions)
2 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 cup frozen peas/carrots
1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp minced garlic (from a jar)
2 eggs
2 cups chopped chicken breast (or other meat)
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high.  Add peas/carrots, onion and garlic.  Saute until tender.  Add 2 eggs and scramble into vegetables.  When egg is cooked, add chicken, rice and soy sauce.  Stir constantly until chicken is heated through.
