Healthy Chicken Fried Rice Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1/2 brown onion, thinly sliced
- 200 g skinless chicken breast, chopped
- 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 250 g cooked brown rice
- 1 tbs salt-reduced soy sauce
- 1 tbs sweet chilli sauce
- 3 tbs unsalted roasted cashews
Method
- Heat oil in a large wok or frypan and add onion. Cook, stirring for 2 mins, until onions are starting to soften.
- Add the chicken and cook for 3 mins, until outside is golden brown.
- Add frozen mixed vegetables and continue to cook on a high heat, stirring often, until the vegies are defrosted and the chicken is cooked through.
- Add the rice, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce and cook, stirring, till rice is hot.
- Serve, and sprinkle with roasted cashews.
Use any combinations of fresh and frozen vegetable - use up whatever you have! Try frozen prawns or a quick omelette instead of chicken.
Serve with fresh chilli and a squeeze of lime.
Use ready-cooked sachets of brown rice from the supermarket, or prepare your own for a cheaper option. Fried rice works best with cold rice, so is great for using up leftovers!
Healthy tip!
Chilli, lemon and herbs add flavour - great alternatives to butter and salt!

Yummy but did it without cashews/peanuts. Also you can use any veggies you like so helps to save on waste
