Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (day-old rice works best)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  

• In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the peas and carrots and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
• Push the veggies to the side and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Scramble them until cooked through, then mix with the veggies.
• Add the cooked rice and chicken back into the skillet. Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring everything together for 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through.

  

• Garnish with green onions and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious, homemade chicken fried rice.

Chicken Fried Rice Recipe

Note:

• Use cold, day-old rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice can make the dish sticky.
