Here’s a delicious recipe for Chicken Fried Rice:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, and corn)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until scrambled. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside with the cooked chicken.
  3. Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Add the minced garlic and chopped green onions and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
  5. Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using), and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  6. Season the Chicken Fried Rice with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning and soy sauce according to your preference.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the Chicken Fried Rice to serving plates.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Chicken Fried Rice as a delicious and satisfying meal!
