I love Chicken Fried Rice, but what I don’t love is the calorie count in the traditional recipe or how long it takes to prepare. So, I came up with a quick and easy version for you to cook along side of me – hope you enjoy it! If you follow a vegetarian diet, you can substitute the chicken with Quorn Chik’n Cutlets, and for my vegan friends, an egg substitute works too.

Directions
Step 1: Turn on your range to med/high heat. Spray the pan with a little olive oil spray.
Step 2: Place chicken tenders in the pan and cook according to the directions.
Step 3: Remove chicken from the pan and place on serving platter.
Step 4: Pour the whole bag of defrosted cauliflower rice stir fry into your pan (I recommend putting it in your fridge the night before so it’s defrosted when ready to use).
Step 5: Make a well in the center of the rice.
Step 6: Crack your egg and place in the center of the rice. Put the lid back on the pan, allowing the egg to fry up. Once you see the egg start to cook, start stirring it into the rice, making sure the whole egg has cooked.
Step 7: Place the chicken back on top of the fried rice to warm back up a bit.
Step 8: Enjoy!
