Easy Chicken Fried Rice Delicious Dinner in Minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 2 eggs beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0 to taste salt and pepper
- 0 to taste chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by ensuring your jasmine rice is cooked and either chilled in the fridge or at room temperature, breaking up any clumps.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until fully cooked. Push the scrambled eggs to one side of the skillet.
- Add in the diced chicken and mixed vegetables, stirring to combine with the eggs. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are heated through.
- Introduce the jasmine rice into the skillet, breaking it apart gently with your spatula. Stir everything together.
- Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture, and stir everything well to ensure the rice is evenly coated.
- Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using) to taste. Continue to stir-fry the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors meld.
- Finally, sprinkle the chopped green onions on top and give it one last stir.
