Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the diced carrots, bell pepper, and peas. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Scramble the Eggs

    Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and crack the eggs into the skillet. Scramble them until fully cooked, then mix with the vegetables.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet along with the cooked chicken. Pour in the soy sauce, and sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring the rice is heated through.

  2. 5

    Finish with Green Onions

    Finally, add the chopped green onions to the skillet, mixing them into the rice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until everything is well combined.
