Spicy Chicken Fried Rice

Are you obsessed with Chinese food?  I am!  I think we have it at least twice a month.  It's my absolute favorite take out.  But, it's super greasy and fried and so good for the taste buds but bad for the waistline.

I came up with my own version.  This has a lot of flavor and is much healthier for you. I love spicy food so this version is a little spicy.  Feel free to adjust.  

Now, there seems to be a lot of soy sauce in the recipe but this helps add so much flavor!  You can use low sodium soy sauce.  I also use sriracha (hot chili sauce) in the recipe.  Have you ever had sriracha?  It is amazing!

Hope you love this version as much as we do.  We seriously have it twice a month!

2 large chicken breasts

½ cup soy sauce (divided)

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

4 tablespoons sriracha (divided)

1 cloves of garlic minced or 1 teaspoon of jarred garlic

1 cup of uncooked rice

1 small onion chopped

2 eggs

4 tablespoons of oil (divided)

2 cups of frozen Asian style veggies

Instructions:

1. Mix together 1/4 cup soy sauce, ground pepper, 2 tablespoons of Sriracha, and garlic together.
2. Chop up the chicken breasts and place into the marinade. Marinate the chicken while you cook the rice.
3. Over a saucepan over low heat, cook the rice. Once rice is done, continue making the dish.
4. In a large deep dish frying pan over medium heat, pour in 1 tablespoon of oil.
5. Saute the chicken.  Once fully cooked, place to the side.
6. Pour in another tablespoon of oil. (Use the same pan)  Saute the onion for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is softened.
7. Scramble the egg in the same pan with the onion.  As you are cooking the eggs, break them up into very small pieces.
8. Once cooked, add the frozen veggies. Saute until warm.
9. Now, add the chicken and rice. Pour in the other ¼ cup of soy sauce, additional tablespoon of oil and additional 2 tablespoons of siracha.
10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy! :)
