Chicken Fried Rice Recipe

I have gotten many requests for the chicken fried rice recipe so I'm going to post it here. Also, I think I will continue to post recipes here so all can share in the eating :)

The recipe calls for bacon but I took the slightly healthier alternative and used extra virgin olive oil to keep the veggies from sticking and it worked just as well. I doubled the recipe so I could have leftovers! Serve with eggrolls and sake for maximum effect :) I boiled the chicken for about fifteen minutes and that worked out great. Happy eating!

Easy Chicken Fried Rice
3 strips of bacon diced OR extra virgin olive oil (for healthier option)
1/2 red bell pepper diced
1 Egg beaten
4 tablespoons of Soy Sauce
1/4 cup scallion finely chopped
1/8 cup peas (frozen or fresh)
2 cups cooked rice (cold)
2 cups chicken cooked (shredded or cubed, your preference)

If you use the bacon: Cook the bacon in a wok (a pot or large pan works just as well) until crisp. Remove the bacon (if you used it). Add the extra virgin olive oil (if you chose healthy!) and saute the scallions, red bell pepper, and peas for 1 minute. Add the egg and scramble. Stir in the rice, chicken, bacon (optional), and soy sauce. (Add more more or less soy according to taste). Serve immediately.
