Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 150 grams Chicken breast
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 0.25 cup Green peas
- 0.25 cup Carrot
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Chives (for garnish)
Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the onion and dice the carrot into small cubes.
In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the diced chicken to the pan and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the diced carrot and green peas, cooking for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir in the low-sodium tomato sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder until the rice is evenly coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the tomato chicken rice to a plate and clean the pan for later use.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with milk until well combined.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan over medium-low heat. Pour in half of the egg mixture to make a thin layer.
Cook the egg until it is slightly set but still soft on top, about 2-3 minutes.
Place half of the rice mixture onto one half of the omelet. Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the rice to form a semi-circle. Slide it onto a plate.
Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and rice for the second serving.
Garnish the omurice with chopped chives and serve immediately.
