Who doesn't love chicken fried rice? I know I do. But I also know how challenging these recipes can be. That's why it is so much easier to order out then to make your own. Until now!

I know Asian food gets a bad rep for what ingredients go into it. That is why I opt to making it from scratch, at home, in your kitchen! I get to choose what goes in and what stays out.

This recipe will work well with a wok. However, I didn't have one, so I used my 15 inch cast iron skillet. And it worked great. You can find it here.

If you are in the market!
