Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Large egg
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
• 4 Green onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cooking the white rice if not using leftover rice. Allow it to cool completely for the best results.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat and add the chicken pieces.

Step 4

Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside.

Step 6

In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and minced garlic cloves. Stir-fry the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Crack the egg into the wok and scramble it until fully cooked.

Step 8

Add the frozen peas and carrots to the wok and cook for about 2 minutes or until they are heated through.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to medium and add the cooked rice to the vegetable mixture.

Step 10

Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, stirring well to combine everything.

Step 11

Add the cooked chicken back into the wok and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed.

Step 12

Sprinkle sliced green onions over the fried rice and give it a final stir.

Step 13

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce if necessary.

Step 14

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