The recipe also calls for canned cream of chicken soup, but you could cut some of the sodium by using a low-sodium variety and you won’t sacrifice any flavor.   

Easy Rotisserie Chicken Fried Rice

Is fried rice something that you occasionally just crave? I know I do! It’s easy and inexpensive to make at home. Since cold-cooked rice works best for fried rice, you can make the rice ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of days. This recipe is great just as it is, but you can customize it with more vegetables, or add a scrambled egg to it for a bit of extra protein.

Final Tip: Use The Chicken Carcass To Make Keto Chicken Broth!

Don’t throw out the carcass from your rotisserie chickens! You can save them in your freezer, then when you have 4 or 5 of them you can make homemade chicken broth. It’s so easy to do; it’s almost a “non-recipe”.  There are great chicken broths available in the grocery stores, but when you make your own you have control over what ingredients are used, as well as the sodium quantity. (Commercial brands always have relatively high sodium in them) You don’t have to worry about using all your chicken broth right away. Store the homemade broth in freezer containers and you’ll always have some on hand for soups, stews, sauces, or just to have some to sip if you have a cold.
