Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are no longer pink and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, diced bell pepper, and frozen peas. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Scramble the Eggs

    Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked rice and the chicken back into the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Finally, add the sliced green onions and toss everything well before serving.
