Protein-Packed Chicken Fried Rice: An Incredible 5-Ingredient Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 9 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
– 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
– 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, bell peppers)
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil (for cooking)
– Green onions, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Protein-Packed Chicken Fried Rice can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Rice: If you haven’t done so already, cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions and let it cool. Day-old rice works best as it has a firmer texture.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
3. Scramble the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Scramble them until fully cooked, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
4. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
5. Add Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine with the chicken and vegetables.
7. Season: Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture and stir to evenly distribute. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Reintroduce Eggs: Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet, mixing them into the rice until well combined.
9. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish with ease.
