Chicken with Fried Rice

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized cubes)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, or bell peppers)
  • 3 green onions (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil for flavor)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add a little more oil and scramble the beaten eggs. Push them to the side once cooked.
  3. Add garlic and mixed vegetables, stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked rice, breaking apart any clumps. Stir well to combine.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Pour in soy sauce (and oyster sauce if using). Mix everything evenly.
  6. Toss in the green onions, stir-fry for another minute, then remove from heat.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!

Would you like me to make this a restaurant-style version with extra flavoring (like sesame oil, ginger, and dark soy sauce) or keep it a simple home-style recipe?
