Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
– 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

– 3 green onions, chopped

Instructions

Creating High Protein Crispy Garlic Chicken Fried Rice is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the diced chicken with cornstarch, salt, and pepper. This will help achieve a crispy texture.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble until fully cooked, then remove and set aside with the chicken.
4. Sauté the Garlic: Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
5. Add Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Combine Rice: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and mix everything well.
7. Season: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
8. Return Chicken and Eggs: Add the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs back into the skillet. Stir well to incorporate everything.
9. Finish with Green Onions: Toss in the chopped green onions and stir-fry for another minute to combine.
10. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

These steps will help you create an incredible dish that is both satisfying and nutritious.
