Crock Pot Chicken Fried Rice


I'm really excited to share this recipe with you today, Who doesn't love a good fried rice, especially homemade and cooked in the crock pot? I discovered this recipe through Ally over at Sweet and Savory Food. Let me assure you, it's definitely a keeper!

Every so often the girls and I will order Chinese and while it's good, this is so much better. I promise. Best part, you can use whatever veggies you have on hand, whether it's that half bag of peas in the freezer or those carrots that are going limp in the fridge. I had some broccoli and carrots from our CSA share last week that I threw in.


I didn't change much of the original recipe except I only had some white rice on hand instead of brown. We added just a tiny bit of soy sauce to taste when we served up our plates, the flavor was fantastic. Unfortunately this isn't a meal you'd want to leave in the crock pot all day while you're at work, it really only takes a few hours to come together on low. Maybe instead it would be perfect on the weekend when you're around more. Or how about those weeknights when you've got tons going on, start this as soon as you get home and let cook until you're ready for supper. If you set your settings to high, it will be done in just 1-1/2 hours.

Regardless it's a new favorite in our house. There will be plenty leftover for lunches the next day, which is always a bonus!
