(Quick and Easy) Gluten Free Chicken Fried Rice

 

 

A lot of Chinese food can be gluten free, but you have to make it at home!  Sorry, to burst your bubble.  This is a go to recipe for my family because it is quick and easy.  My gluten eating family members will stop and get egg rolls at the drive through for themselves when I make this little gem.  (But I do not partake)

 

Here is what you need:

2 cups of uncooked rice

2 chicken breast uncooked and cubed

2 Tablespoons of Roasted sesame oil + 2 T. of olive oil or butter

2 teaspoons of pepper

2 teaspoons of garlic chopped

3 green onions, sliced  

2 cups frozen peas and carrots (thawed)--- you can do this in the microwave if you are giving me a big "WHAT? It's still frozen?"

2 Tablespoons of Gluten Free Soy Sauce or more if you like  

2-4 eggs slightly beaten (we like 4)  

Salt and pepper to taste

 

 

 

Put your water on to boil for your rice and follow the directions on the package.  Also, heat your sesame oil and add your cubed chicken breast with 2 teaspoons of pepper. 



The toasted sesame oil gives the chicken a nice toasty flavor.  Cook until no pink shows...unlike the above picture! Then set aside until your rice is complete.

I do not know if you have seen these in your frozen food section but they are AMAZING!

They are little cubes of frozen garlic and other herbs like cilantro, basil ect. each little cube

pops out with a teaspoon of perfection and stays fresh.  I mean really?  I sincerely jumped up and down in the frozen food section when I saw these. (cook nerd)



 Add a little oil to your pan on a low to medium low heat, then add rice, peas, carrots, onions, & garlic and cook for a few minutes until warm throughout.

. 

When warm, push the rice to the side of your pan or wok, and put your slightly beaten beside it.  When they begin to cook you can mix them into the rice.  Remember, I said we like 4 eggs?  I put two in the pan and cook two in the microwave and add them later. Yes, the microwave for about 1 minute.  It make beautiful soft eggs. 

Add your chicken to the rice and veggies and then add your gluten free soy sauce. 

Your finished dish should look very similar to what you order in the restaurant.  It is a simple, one dish dinner.  Easy, not a lot of clean up and it's gluten free. 

 

哇靠，这是真棒！
