This Easy 30-Minute Chicken Friend Rice recipe is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Minute® Ready to Serve Family Bowls. It’s delicious, easy to make, and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner!
You guys know how I’m ALL about the easiest way to make something. Especially when life gets crazy busy (ahem…ALWAYS)! After a full day of work and errands, Cody and I typically head to the gym to get our workout in. By the time we get back from the gym, it’s already late evening. There definitely isn’t time for a complicated recipe!
Sometimes (often) our dinner results in frozen pizza or chicken tacos (with pre-cooked chicken). I’ve also been known to make my famous “everything’s going bad in the fridge let’s throw it in a casserole dish and bake it” casserole. Yep. But there can only be so much of that before a new recipe needs to make an appearance in our lives!
This Easy 30-Minute Chicken Fried Rice is perfect for a new, quick weeknight dinner!
It also helps that Cody and I are pretty obsessed with fried rice! I think that I could truly eat this every single day. No joke!
I know, I know. RICE. It takes a while to cook and all…but in this case, I used Minute Ready to Serve Family Bowls to get the job done! YOU GUYS. It took a whopping total of 2 minutes to make in the microwave. Such a win!

Love the recipe and definitely going to give it a shot, but had one question: you say to use the first half of the oil for the chicken to brown it, but I’m not sure which step the second half of the oil gets factored in. Any help here would be appreciated, and really enjoy all your recipes in general!

Thanks, Thomas! Oops, so sorry for leaving that out. The remaining oil would be used to cook the eggs in the next step! I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Rachel says
This is sooooo yummy!
I added some edamame (cooked it in the micro and then shelled and put it in the pan at the end) and just a little bit of sesame oil.
Thank you so much for these recipes. They are easy, healthy, yummy, and delicious!
Christine McMichael says
