{Recipe}Chicken Fried Rice

"Fried Rice" as you know is a cooked rice dish stir fried using vegetables, meat, seafood, egg or chicken which is stir fried in large pans or woks which are normally used in Chinese restaurants. We always find it difficult to prepare in homes because either we do not get the same taste or our rice is over cooked. So today's recipe is "Chicken Fried Rice" which have cooked in my kitchen several times and I always improvised this recipe using different flavours. 

I always prefer Chicken fried Rice because the succulent pieces of Chicken always give nice bite in mouth and doesn't demand a side dish as compared to veg fried rice. So lets begin with the Dish preparation. I have also add  the You-tube video link along with the Step wise preparation.
