Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice

This recipe might just be the quickest, busy-weeknight meal I have in my pocket.

It looks and tastes like I worked to make it happen, but the secret sauce to my efficiency is really in the store-bought rotisserie chicken breast and bottled Teriyaki sauce.

Well, those, along with my precooked brown rice, which I almost always have on hand.

And when I don’t, my Instant Pot makes it on-demand.

Can I use white rice or brown rice in fried rice?

Both! You simply replace the cooked brown rice with white rice.

For me, I prefer brown rice when eating fried rice because it’s more hearty and nutritious.

I think of it as secretly healthy because nobody ever knows they’re eating brown rice.

It’s also one of my favorite Sunday prep items.

It cooks itself in a rice cooker or Instant Pot which does all the work for us while we’re knocking out other kitchen tasks.

Does fried rice make good leftovers?

Heck yeah! Like most cooked foods, it’s even better the second day!

To reheat, you can microwave it or pan sauté it again until warmed through.
