Dice the chicken breast into small cubes and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed chicken to the skillet and stir-fry until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Push the onions and garlic to the side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the skillet, scrambling and cooking until they just set.
Add the diced carrot, green beans, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooled cooked rice, and mix everything thoroughly.
Pour the low sodium soy sauce over the rice mixture and sprinkle with ground black pepper. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the soy sauce.
Continue stir-frying the rice mixture for another 3-5 minutes, until everything is heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro, if using.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra zest.
