Chicken Fried Rice — Ready in 15 Minutes!

Better than takeout! Golden fluffy rice with tender chicken, scrambled eggs, and fresh vegetables — all tossed in a savory soy sauce. Quick, easy, and absolutely delicious!

📝 Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked white rice — preferably day-old (cold rice works best!)
• 300g (10 oz) chicken breast — diced into small cubes
• 2 large eggs — lightly beaten
• ½ cup frozen peas & carrots — thawed
• 3 green onions — sliced (white & green parts separated)
• 2 cloves garlic — minced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, adds depth)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• ½ tsp salt & black pepper — to taste
• Optional: diced bell pepper, corn, or shrimp

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep: Make sure rice is cold and broken up with a fork — no clumps. Dice chicken, slice green onions, mince garlic.
2. Cook chicken: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add chicken — stir-fry 4–5 minutes until cooked through and golden. Remove and set aside.
3. Scramble eggs: In the same pan, add beaten eggs. Scramble quickly until just set — about 1 minute. Push to the side.
4. Sauté aromatics: Add remaining oil, garlic, and white parts of green onions. Stir-fry 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Fry the rice: Add cold rice to the pan. Break up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry 3–4 minutes until rice is heated through and slightly crispy in spots.
6. Combine & season: Return chicken to the pan. Add peas & carrots, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together for 2 minutes until well combined and hot.
7. Serve: Taste and adjust salt. Garnish with green onion greens. Serve immediately! 🍚✨
