Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked brown rice
• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 cup Edamame (shelled)
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 4 stalks Green onions
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by prepping the ingredients: Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized cubes. Peel and finely dice the carrot. Core and finely dice the bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves. Slice the green onions into thin rounds, separating the light and dark parts.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir-fry until fully cooked and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 4

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs within the skillet until they are fully cooked.

Step 5

Add the cooked brown rice, cooked chicken, and edamame into the skillet with the vegetables and eggs. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 6

Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture, stirring continuously to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

Sprinkle the sliced green onions on top, saving a little of the dark green slices for garnish. Stir the rice thoroughly, ensuring an even distribution of all ingredients.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining green onion slices.
