Fried rice is the kind of meal I turn to when I need to get dinner ready quickly. I love this rotisserie chicken version because so much of the work is done for me. Even better when I have some cooked rice ready to go. In fact, lately I like to cook double the amount of rice I need and then store the rest in the fridge or freezer for fried rice emergencies. I do the same with rotisserie chickens, often buying 2 or 3 chickens and shredding them ahead to make dinner time easier. If the rice and chicken are cooked, all that is needed is to stir fry the vegetables, add a delicious sauce and serve. Dinner in a flash!
