Ingredient Tips

• Chicken breast – You can also use chicken thighs. Cut into uniform sized pieces. You can also use another type of meat. Cook shrimp, cubed steak, pork, or even diced ham as a substitute for chicken. But remember to adjust the cook time accordingly for whatever protein you choose to cook.
• White rice – Old rice works best when making chicken fried rice on Blackstone. So make a pot of rice a day or two before you plan to make this meal and you’ll be good to go. This really is the secret to a great fried rice! Jasmine rice is a really good rice to stir fry because it will crisp up nicely. It is also less likely to break compared to other types of rice. Long grain white rice is also a great choice.
• Frozen peas and carrots – You can use fresh peas and carrots if you prefer.
• Canola oil – Canola oil is a really simple option, but you can also use olive oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil or even butter.
• Soy sauce – Feel free to use low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos if you’re watching your sodium intake. Tamari is a great gluten-free alternative.
