Here is my version of this classic dish. I like dinners that are with ground chicken or ground turkey and this can be done with those as well. Also, a special treat, we love this breakfast fried rice. Sometimes I add pineapple too. Fresh is best of course! This recipe is one of the all time most popular recipes on the website. We do love it in our family, and have been making it for almost fifteen years.
BETTER-THAN-TAKEOUT CHICKEN FRIED RICE
Serves 3-4
1 cup rice
3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (I recommend slow cooker chicken teriyaki)
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup frozen peas
4 carrots, diced
2 eggs
3 tablespoons sesame oil (or you can substitute butter!)
1/4 cup soy sauce
Optional: sesame seeds
Prepare 1 cup rice with two cups water in a rice cooker or on the stovetop. Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, peas, and carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes. Crack eggs into pan and scramble, mixing with vegetables.
Add rice, chicken, and soy sauce to pan. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
