Breaded Chicken Fried Rice Breakfast Bowl

Got out all my ingredients and breaded the chicken with panko and rice flour. Panko has a better crunch, in my opinion, than any other bread crumb and I do prefer the silkier texture of the rice flour over regular flour. [Thanx to my job at Bravo!]

I actually pounded the chicken out to be a little thinner so that it would cook quicker, and a little more evenly.


Dried the chicken up some with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Subsequently, I covered it in panko, salt, pepper, and rice flour.

Got my oil warmed up and slid the chicken right in there.

Flipped it on over after cooking for about 3 minutes. I do the same on the other side of the chicken then take it out of the pan and start preparing some veggies.

Onions and mushrooms to be exact.

Sauteed the veggies and cut the chicken breast up to toss back in.

Added bacon to the mixture and put them all back into the skillet for more frying.

Then I added some brown rice leftover in the house.

Cook it all up for a while so the chicken is nice and cooked through.

Topped it off with an overeasy egg and pomegranate craisins. The egg was nice for creating a nice sauce for the dish and the craisins added a sweet juicy bite to the dish. It turned into a very delicious breakfast and I couldn’t even believe I at all of it.
What fun items do you find yourself creating in the morning?

Bfast: Rice bowl

Start your engines! Or some oil, however you would like to reference it.


Little picture montage of ingredients, butter, onions, brown rice, spinach, bacon, garlic, egg. Also included on the list are olive oil, walnuts (I’m obsessed), parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Sautee them ernions. At this point I should have added the walnuts, but those were a split-second addition I threw in.

Drop in the bacon with a dash of minced garlic.

Top it off with spinach, a little more olive oil, parmesan, salt, and pepper.

Funny thing about spinach is it seems like there’s so much of it, then it wilts down to a quarter of the volume.

Get yir brown rice ready. Go ahead and set the spinach mixture aside (or on top of the rice) to start cookin the egg.

Overeasy egg y’all! They cook quickly and once they harden, you can’t really go back. Gotta keep a close eye on it. The best part is when the egg is runny and the yolk  becomes a binder for the entire dish.

Final product. Had some Challah bread and a big ‘ol cup of coffee that I’m still drinking after finishing the meal.

Little closer up.
Cooking can be so cathartic. It turns idle time into a reward. These motions have become second nature to me so I find myself thinking the entire time I cook. It’s a good time for reflection. Maybe replaying the evening before, repeating something in your head that someone said to you the day before, or just time to think about your horoscope.

Do you find yourself thinking while cooking? What do you usually think about?

Belated Breakfast Burrito

Start heating some olive oil in a pan.

I pulled out bacon, onions, and garlic for the egg mixture.

I started sauteeing the onions first and then I threw the bacon and the garlic in as well.

Add the eggs…

Scrambled the eggs some and then I added sliced tomatoes at the last second…this pic is after I flipped the egg patty.

Lavash bread with white american cheese.

Add some fresh spinach…

Drop in the egg mixture and wrap it all ups$

Served it up with some bagel thins spread with craisin walnut cream cheese and banana slices. Had a nice cup of coffee to accompany the meal since I can’t go a morning without my cup (or two).

I chose to keep the spinach fresh in the wrap because the buttery crunch of the spinach adds much more texture. Also, the spinach helps take on some of the juices of the egg mixture keeping the wrap from being too moist.

So what did y’all have for breakfast?
Fashion sometime soon =D
