Greek Chicken and Vegetable “Fried” Rice

By Aggieskitchen

Sometimes the best meals come out of those days you play “Use it Up” in the kitchen. I play that game a lot…as I’m sure many of you do too! This meal consisted of leftover grilled chicken that I spiced up with Greek Seasoning (you can mix up your own with salt, pepper, dried oregano, garlic powder) and a bunch of vegetables that I had sitting in my produce drawer begging to be eaten.

I call this dish fried rice because after sauteing the vegetables and cooking the rice, I threw it all in the same pan with the leftover chicken and “fried” it together... and the real reason is because my picky son likes fried rice and I wanted him to eat it! And thankfully he did (squash, zucchini, asparagus and all = accomplishment!)
