Gluten Free Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice

Enjoy a delicious meal today with Gluten Free Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice!

We all know how much I love my air fryer, don’t we? It’s even better as we head into the new year looking for recipes that are better for you too.

One thing that I was anxious to try in the air fryer was an air fryer fried rice recipe.

I decided to adapt my own Gluten Free Chicken Fried Rice and use it to make Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice.

The result?

DELICIOUS!

This is such a great way to make air fryer fried rice.

I actually keep Tyson Grilled & Ready Fully Cooked Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast on hand at all times because I love a good Caesar salad with it too. It’s such a great way to make a tasty meal in mere minutes.

Now once we get the chicken, it’s time to talk about this Gluten Free Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice.

First off, this is so simple to make and it’s such a great “better for you” option if you long for that fried rice. This recipe has barely any oil!

Not only that but I use a coconut oil spray.

What do you need for Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice?

• Tyson Grilled & Ready Fully Cooked Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast or Cooked Chicken
• Cooked White Rice
• White Onion
• Carrots
• Celery
• Coconut Oil Cooking Spray
• Soy Sauce or Gluten Free Soy Sauce

Most of these items will be readily available in your pantry or freezer. We like to keep these on hand for a quick meal during the week.

Once you have them all ready to go it’s time to make Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice.

Tips for Making Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice 

When using an air fryer, it’s always a good idea to have a good cooking spray on hand. This is typically needed to replace using oil in a recipe.

When making Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice, I prefer to use a coconut oil cooking spray. This will give a great flavor, plus allow the rice to stay nice and soft without drying out.

I highly recommend lining the air fryer basket with foil before making this as well. It makes for quick clean-up, plus any rice or liquid stays on top and doesn’t go down into your air fryer pan.

The next thing to keep in mind is everyone is different when it comes to taste. I start this recipe with 4 Tbsp of gluten free soy sauce, but sometimes I end up using 6 Tbsp.

If you prefer more, you can add it individually when you are serving. My husband and I are used to minimal salt, so we prefer to stop at 6 Tbsp. for this recipe.

Keep in mind too that when I say 6 Tbsp. of soy sauce, we are using 4 cups of rice. This recipe will easily serve 4 people.

The most important tip is that using Tyson Grilled & Ready Fully Cooked Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast is essential in this recipe because the chicken is already cooked.  In saying that whichever chicken you choose to use, it needs to be cooked first.

This means you avoid any cross contamination and it literally only takes 10 minutes to make Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice.

As we head into this new year, I have no doubt that many will be using their air fryer. It truly is a great way to enjoy some of the foods you love without all the unnecessary oils and fats.
