Chicken Fried Rice

Do you have left over chicken dish from a party last night and is still good? Well if you already lost your appetite with these leftovers and at the same time hesitant to throw them out, why not try cooking them again and turn them into a delicious all-in-one fried rice for your breakfast like in the picture below.

Here's how you do this. Scoop two cups of left over rice and slightly mash them to loosen the bits. Then get your left over chicken dish from the refrigerator, perhaps an adobo or kaldereta or afritada. Separate the meat from the bones, throw the bones away because we will need just the meat. Then slice the meat into small pieces. Then prepare garlic, onion, egg, onion spring, and cucumber. In a pan, heat a little oil then put on the egg stirring it until done. Cut the egg into small pieces using your spatula then just put it on the side of your pan to have a space for the garlic and onion to cook. When the garlic is already brown and crisp and the onion is slightly done, add the chicken and let it fry for a minute before putting the rice.  After you add the rice, stir all the ingredients together continuously to evenly cook the fried rice and avoid burning the bottom. After 3 minutes turn off the flame then mix the cucumber and the sliced black olives to garnish. Voila! You are now ready to enjoy your unique fried rice. Best with coffee or hot chocolate or a fruit juice of your choice.
