Chicken Fried Rice – a simple recipe that will make weeknights delicious.

Last night we had Hazelnut Chicken for dinner. I made it using some hazelnut coffee that was leftover from the morning to make a brine for the chicken. It turned out amazing!

Everyone enjoyed the chicken but we had a lot leftover. Usually I’ll use the leftover chicken to make Chicken Pot Pie or some kind of a casserole, but I’ve been craving Chinese food the last couple of days and decided to try something new.

In keeping with the cheap and easy theme of the Feed 4 for 5 series, I came up with this incredibly delicious recipe that helped satisfy my Chinese craving.
