Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast, cubed
• 0.25 cup gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 0.5 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, combine the cubed chicken with 2 tablespoons of the gluten-free soy sauce. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them until cooked through. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet, then add the marinated chicken. Stir-fry the chicken until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the carrots and red bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the cooked jasmine rice, peas, scrambled eggs, and cooked chicken back to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together to combine.

Step 7

Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce over the rice mixture. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry everything together for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the rice is fully mixed with the vegetables and chicken and heated through.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped green onions just before serving to add a fresh vibrant flavor.

Step 9

Serve the gluten-free fried rice hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
