Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Beat the eggs in a bowl and pour them into the pan, scrambling until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Increase the heat to high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into the pan.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the cooked chicken breast and green peas, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan, stirring continuously to combine the ingredients and break up any rice clumps.
Pour in the gluten-free soy sauce, stirring well to ensure the rice is evenly coated.
Return the scrambled eggs to the pan, breaking them into smaller pieces as you mix them into the rice.
Sprinkle in the chopped green onions, salt, and ground black pepper, stirring to combine.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the fried rice and give it a final stir.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving hot.
