Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast (diced)
• 2 medium Carrots (diced)
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 stalks Green onions (sliced)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or any neutral cooking oil)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients before starting. Dice the chicken, carrots, and green onions, and ensure the rice and other ingredients are within easy reach.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add diced chicken to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan, then add the diced carrots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 5

Push the carrots to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs, cooking until they are just set, then mix them with the carrots.

Step 6

Add the frozen peas and minced garlic to the pan, stirring well, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the peas are heated through and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 7

Add the cooked chicken back to the pan, followed by the day-old rice. Toss everything together to combine.

Step 8

Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the mixture, stirring well to evenly coat the rice and ingredients.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through and slightly crisped to your liking.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Fried Rice!
