Prepare all ingredients before starting: dice the chicken breast, finely dice the carrot, slice the green onions, mince the garlic, and thaw the peas if frozen.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining sesame oil and vegetable oil. Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrot, and peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs with a spatula until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
Turn the heat to high and add the cooked rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine and break up any clumps of rice.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce, mixing thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through and well combined.
Stir in the sliced green onions and remove the skillet from heat.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Chicken Fried Rice II!
