Sweet and Spicy Chicken Fried Rice image

This is a quick and easy lunch or light dinner. Have all of your vegetables etc cut up before you start. This dish comes together very quickly. I like to cook my rice the night before and let it cool. This is not necessary, but makes this dish even quicker.
