Crazy Easy Chicken Fried Rice

I am lucky that my daughter Riley is such a foodie. She always loves helping me in the kitchen and I think that’s so important. I am always wanting to expand her palate, in fact she has always been willing to try new foods. She is such a great helper in the kitchen too! We recently partnered with Uncle Ben’s and crafted the easiest Chicken Fried Rice recipe ever!

Riley helped me through every step too – she learned early on the importance of safety in the kitchen. Since this is a hot dish we used potholders and I made sure I was with her every step of the way.

Uncle Ben’s is a very easy product to help incorporate your children into the cooking process because it’s so easy to prepare. We love getting creative in the kitchen too – sometimes she has an idea I never thought of and it works! Uncle Ben’s has a great program called Ben’s Beginners that is perfect for families like mine with curious kids. Go check it out!
