Chicken Fried Rice

This is such an easy recipe and a favorite at our house. I have also used leftover pork and it was just as good. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of butter. I have never used that much. I only use about 1/4 cup. I can usually make this recipe in 30 to 40 minutes.

1 to 2 chicken breasts or 10 chicken tenders ( cut into small pieces)

In a separate pan cook rice then add to the mixture.

In another pan, scramble three eggs, chop finely and add to mixture
