This Italian fried rice with Chicken is an easy dinner that is a fun twist on fried rice. It is a budget friendly meal too.
I adore simple meals that don't require fussy plating to look nice. Visual appeal in meals is important for me, and this Italian Chicken Fried Rice looks yummy just scooped into a bowl. The chicken and recipe with Italian vegetables is easy as can be, and healthy too.

I have never made fried rice at home because my husband is picky but this sounds so good.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but the rest of this sounds really yummy. I totally LOVE rice in any form.
