Kevin's Kitchen: Chicken Fried Rice

A thyroidectomy requires a life change. That includes changing eating habits. The purpose of Kevin's Kitchen is to help those with no (or little) cooking skills to create great meals.


And today... it is chicken fried rice! This is a little more work than our normal meals, but it is worth it! 




Start by boiling up 7 cups of instant rice. White rice is the traditional choice, but you can make the dish healthier by using brown rice instead.

 While the rice is cooking, scramble 8 eggs. If you want to be really healthy? You can do egg whites, but I don't recommend it because egg whites lack flavor.
 Once the eggs are cooked, add a can of chicken. Using can chicken is a matter of ease and convenience. Fresh cooked chicken is a healthy alternative to canned chicken.

Take two cups of frozen peas and microwave them. Add that to the eggs and chicken mix.








Finally, add the cooked rice with 1 tablespoons of oil, 1 tablespoons of butter, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Mix it all together. Season with Soy Sauce to taste. Once you perfect this recipe, you'll never need to order from the local Chinese restaurant ever again!
