I guarantee your family will ask for this meal time and time again! Full of vegetables and chicken it’s a wonderful dinner that should be added to every meal plan!
You don’t have to make the BBQ Chicken to make this meal. You can use any leftover chicken and make fresh rice. However, I have to say getting two meal out of one is quite literally a “winner winner chicken dinner” in the purest sense of the phrase! So if you missed my BBQ Chicken Leg recipe you can go here, make it, then make this recipe the next day. Voila! Two meals ferrrr yoooou.
That’s really all I have to say about that, go forth and make this easy meal my friends.
Enjoy!

Sounds yummy!
We love fried rice and always make extra rice so we can have a quick dinner the following day. I keep cooked chicken in the freezer so when I put the rice away I take out the chicken and BOOM! next dinner sorted. (not much to photograph after the first time though)
