Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 1 cup green peas, frozen
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 4 stalks green onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients by dicing the carrot and red bell pepper, and chopping the green onions and garlic.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces, seasoning them with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cook for 6-7 minutes or until they are well browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet. Saute the minced garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced carrot, red bell pepper, and green peas to the skillet, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs on the empty side and scramble them until they are fully cooked.

Step 8

Add the cooked rice into the skillet along with the chicken pieces.

Step 9

Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture and stir everything together until thoroughly combined.

Step 10

Add the chopped green onions and stir-fry for another minute. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce if desired.

Step 11

Serve the fried rice hot, garnished with extra green onions if preferred.
