Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, diced
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots blend
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, scramble them until fully cooked, then remove them to a small plate and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil along with the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the frozen peas and carrots to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until thawed and lightly cooked.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, then add the diced cooked chicken to the other side. Stir and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Add the cooked white rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula, and mix with the chicken and vegetables.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then mix well to evenly coat.
Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet, gently stirring to combine all the ingredients.
Turn off the heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving or portioning into freezer-safe containers.
Allow to cool completely if freezing, then freeze in airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags for up to 3 months.
To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight (if frozen) and warm in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent drying.
