This is a quick and easy recipe for chicken fried rice that I make when I have leftover roast chicken and cooked rice. I add some veggies and a few pantry staple spices for a flavorful family dinner that's perfect when you're short on time and groceries!

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 0.33 cups diced carrots
