Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice

I'm always looking for easy ways to use my air fryer, and this chicken fried rice is seriously easy! I like to use a rotisserie chicken for this because it makes it THAT much easier!


Ingredients
3 cups cooked rice
1 package frozen peas and carrots
6 tbsp tamari sauce (can use soy sauce)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cups diced chicken (I prefer using a rotisserie chicken for this)
1/2 cup onion, diced

Directions
1) Cook rice according to instructions. Can use minute rice.
2) Line air fryer basket with foil about half way up. (See images below) Preheat air fryer to 360*.
3) Add remaining ingredients into a large bowl and mix well.
4) Once rice is cooked, add to bowl and mix well.
5) Pour rice mixture into the pre-heated air fryer. Cover with foil and cook for 15-20 minutes.
6) Chicken fried rice should be nice and warm with a slight crunch.


Some tips I've learned along the way:
- Insert your foil in the basket of the air fryer BEFORE you heat it up. I've made this mistake and that sucker gets HOT!
- Only line the basket about half way up, otherwise the warm air cannot get into the fried rice and it takes a long time to cook.
- Be sure to cover the fried rice with foil as well, or the top layer will get super crunchy.

ENJOY!
