WHERE IS CHICKEN FRIED RICE FROM

China

CAN CHICKEN FRIED RICE BE HEALTHY

Yes, you can use less soya sauce for lower sodium or a low sodium sauce. As well you can add more frozen vegetables if desired also.

CAN CHICKEN FRIED RICE BE FROZEN

Yes, be sure to use fresh chicken breasts as you do not want to re-freeze any meal ideally.

We hardly ever order this dish from the restaurant anymore, because mine is better. That is unless we know the restaurant well and know they make it just as good.
