Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 Tbsp. neutral oil, divided
  • 3 chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb.), seasoned with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp. freshly minced ginger
  • 4 cups cooked white rice (preferably leftover)
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, pour in 2 tablespoons of neutral oil.
  3. Season the chicken with Kosher salt and black pepper, and cook in the skillet until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
  6. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté the onion and carrots until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring for 1 minute.
  8. Mix in the cooked rice and peas, heating through for about 2 minutes.
  9. Push the rice to one side and add the remaining oil, pouring in the beaten eggs. Stir until nearly fully cooked.
  10. Fold the eggs into the rice mixture, then add the chicken, soy sauce, and green onions. Stir everything together and serve.

Notes

Using day-old rice helps achieve the perfect fluffy consistency.
