Chicken Fried Rice 🍚🍗🥢
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
1 lb chicken breast, diced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
3 green onions, chopped
3-4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs:
In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
Stir-Fry Vegetables:
Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Stir in the chopped green onions.
Combine Ingredients:
Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir well to combine with the vegetables. Add the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs back to the skillet.
Season the Rice:
Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Drizzle with sesame oil, if using. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through.
Serve:
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
