Restaurant Quality Chinese Chicken Fried Rice

This was the best fried rice I have ever made. Substituted green peas for color as we don't like green peppers (they take over the whole dish). Otherwise, I copied the recipe to the letter (maybe a bit more soy sauce)and it was delicious. This will be my go to fried rice recipe from now on. bc-mimi

I had leftover chicken and leftover rice and I needed to use them, so I ‘plugged’ them into your recipe. I did not have water chestnuts, so did not use them and I do not care for green bell pepper, so I used red bell pepper and I added some frozen peas at the very end – just long enough to thaw them, but not long enough to cook them! This was so very good - thank you for posting - this will be part of my repertoire from now on (and a good reason to have leftover chicken and rice)!

This was great and enjoyed by all. I chose to scramble the egg as is, and just add it in all crumbled. I also used sesame oil, as I like the flavor it imparts to the fried rice. I substituted diced carrots & peas in lieu of the peppers & added cabbage in place of water chestnuts (personal preference). All in all, it was very tasty and very easy to accommodate to taste preferences & whatever offerings you have in the 'fridge. Thank you!

Not great, but most ate it. Was very "processed" and "fatty" - might try using real herbs and less butter next time. :(

Great recipe, very easy to follow. This is actually the third time I've made this and each time everyone loves it! We leave out the water chestnuts & bell pepper and add in peas (picky eaters) but otherwise I follow everything perfectly and it's always fabulous! Thanks for the post! Update: Actually did three times the amount of everything and still cooked up beautifully! Took a few minutes longer but still fabulous! Thanks again!

well i must say, as a super chinese food fan, i was pleased with the outcome of this rice! i made a few changes.. i did not have onion or pepper, so i just used a cup of small baby peas and corn. it turned out beautifully! followed the directions exactly except i doubled the recipe, and to my already assured mind, it was just as good the second time around! Bravo, dolliegyrl, Bravo!

My family loved this and almost fought over who got the last little bit. Due to some fussy eaters, I left out the green pepper and water chestnuts and used corn and a little jalapeno pepper and green onion instead. I added a sprinkle of garlic powder and used sesame oil(about a tsp) in place of the regular oil. I had leftover basmati rice in the fridge, so I did not follow the recipe for the rice. Thanks for the recipe.

I've made this recipe numerous times and trust me when I say it is the best chicken fried rice recipe you will ever find on the internet.

Fantastic! I made this for my husband for dinner 3 nights ago and we loved it so much that I made it again tonight for our weekly Church Dinner. Everyone loved it! (even the picky teenagers!) I used banana peppers (what I had) onions and peas and it was great! Thank you so much for such an easy and delicious recipe!

wow, this was way easier than I thought it would be. We loved it. I added carrots, peas and mushrooms for a little more flavor variety. The only thing that I would really change about this recipe would be the amount of pepper. It calls for a lot of pepper, which kind of overpowers the other flavors. Next time I'll lighten that up a bit, otherwise great!

This is an amazing fried rice, and I have to look no further. This is the one I will make from now on. It couldn't be better. Change it up by adding peas and carrots and changing up the chicken to meats, seafood etc. This is a very forgiving recipe and will tolerate just about anything added without ruining the dish!

Both DH & thought this was a really wonder recipe and extremely close to the take out food we can get here in Michigan. Only thing DH thought to add was 4 cloves of crushed garlic, but that's just a personal preference due to DH being a huge Diego!!!! And we know how the Italians love garlic! LOL Served this with Sesame Chicken #44321 and both complimented eachother very well :o) Thanks dolliegyrl!!!!!!!!

Great addition to our Chinese night menu! I caramelized the onions and I did not add the green pepper. Instead I added diced carrots and peas, but other than that made following the recipe. We shall have it again!

This was very good! I think one of the keys to the good taste of the recipe is the rice cooked with the flavorings and using plenty of egg (I used 2). The cook can easily vary this recipe to there own liking. I added chinese cabbage (Napa). Delicious!
