Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Grains

  • 3 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Seasonings & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop the vegetables. Mince the garlic and lightly beat the eggs to have everything ready for cooking.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables and Garlic: In the same skillet, add more sesame oil if needed. Add minced garlic and vegetables. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour beaten eggs into the open space and gently scramble until just set. Mix scrambled eggs together with the vegetables.
  5. Add Rice and Chicken: Add the cooked rice and the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Stir everything together to combine evenly.
  6. Season and Finish Cooking: Pour soy sauce over the mixture and toss well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and absorb the flavors.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice to prevent mushiness and clumping.
  • Cook chicken and vegetables in batches if your skillet is crowded to ensure even searing.
  • Maintain medium-high heat for a slightly crispy texture.
  • Be careful not to burn the garlic to avoid a bitter taste.
  • Start with less soy sauce and adjust to taste to prevent oversalting.
