If there’s one meal that saves dinner at the last minute, it’s chicken fried rice. My daughter created this amazing, savory dish when she was 13 years old & it has become a staple in our house ever since! Your family will love this EASY, protein packed chicken & rice combo with the yummiest gluten free sauce ever! I promise, it’s better than the restaurants.
The Secrets to Perfect Gluten-Free Fried Rice
The secret to amazing fried rice is cold, day-old rice. Fresh rice can be too soft and sticky, but chilled rice crisps up perfectly in the pan and gives you the best texture.
The second secret? A high-quality gluten-free tamari (soy sauce) or coconut aminos for that deep, savory flavor without traditional soy sauce full of wheat.
Ways to Make it Your Own
Not only is this fried rice way better than the restaurants, it’s very flexible too. Sometimes we like to switch up the recipe by:
- Swapping chicken for shrimp or steak
- Using cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option
- Adding broccoli, bell peppers, or mushrooms
- My husband likes to drizzle his with sriracha for some spice
