Chicken Fried Rice



Now that we are all very poor students, we need some really inexpensive meals, right? Well, the cost of last night's dinner came to maybe $2 total. Pretty good.


Note: This can be made with Ramen instead of rice. Just use 1/2 of the seasoning packet instead of the buillion cube when cooking the chicken and the other half sprinkle on the drained noodles



Ingredients:

chicken breasts (I used 2)
3 c. cooked rice (or 2 packets ramen)
eggs (I used 2)
1 c. frozen mixed veggies (I used peas, carrots, corn and green beans, but normandy blend would be better)
1 buillion cube- chicken or beef
1/2 c. orange juice or 1 tbsp oj concentrate (if using concentrate add 1/2 c. water)
1/4 c. soy sauce
black or red pepper for some heat


Instructions:


Cut the chicken breast into bite sized pieces and cook with some pepper, buillion, soy sauce, and OJ in a saucepan. Remove chicken from pan and set aside, reserving juices.


In a separate pan, Fry eggs until yolks are set, but not hard. Dice.


Add frozen veggies to the pan with the juices from the chicken. Cook on medium until the veggies thaw. Add cooked rice and bring to simmer. If more liquid is desired, add equal parts soy sauce and OJ.

Stir in diced fried eggs and top with chicken.


Enjoy!
