Prep Time

The prep time for this dish is approximately 20 minutes. The chicken needs to be marinated for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Cook Time

The cook time for this dish is approximately 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
  • 3 cups cooked rice (preferably leftover rice)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped for garnishing

Equipment

  • Wok or large skillet
  • Bowl for marinating chicken
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method

  1. In a bowl, marinate the chicken with soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, salt, and pepper. Set aside for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten egg and scramble it until it's cooked through. Set it aside on a plate.
  3. In the same wok, add the marinated chicken and cook until it's browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside on the same plate as the egg.
  4. Add a little more oil to the wok if needed and sauté the onions, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger until the onions are translucent and the vegetables are tender.
  5. Add the frozen peas and carrots and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add the cooked rice and stir-fry for a few minutes until it's heated through.
  7. Add the cooked chicken and egg back into the wok and stir-fry everything together for a few more minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Leftover rice works best for this recipe because it's less sticky than freshly cooked rice.
  • If you like your fried rice spicier, you can add more chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes.
  • You can also add other vegetables like broccoli or mushrooms to this dish.
