Healthier Chicken Fried Rice

This is a Healthier Chicken Fried Rice recipe, that will satisfy your Chinese craving without all the guilt.

I think the hardest part about trying to lose weight and be healthier, is that you often crave foods that you know aren’t the most healthy. I love Chinese food but I know it can be moreish. One of the things I love is fried rice, and if you add the right chicken it can be an absolutely amazing easy dinner idea.

My kids love rice but I always make too much! This is a great way to use that leftover rice before it goes bad. My boys actually ate this even though they don’t like to “mix” their foods.

I didn’t know how this recipe would go over with my husband and daughter because we have never been zucchini eaters but this was so good! We will be eating keto chicken alfredo even when the fitness journey is over!

I absolutely love alfredo sauce and matter of fact that is the only thing I get at Olive Garden. Imagine my surprise when I find an alfredo sauce that I like even more than my old standby! If you don’t love zucchini you will be surprised how much you do in this dish! There is love in the air!
