Chicken Fried Rice – Easy Weeknight Meal

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Heat 1-2 teaspoons of sesame oil in a big wok over medium heat. Add the 500g of chicken breast pieces (marinated with a little soy sauce) and cook until it's cooked all the way through. Once cooked, set the chicken aside.

Step 2: Stir-fry Vegetables

Add a little more sesame oil to the wok. Add 1 small diced brown onion, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and 1.5 cups of mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrot, and corn). Stir-fry the vegetables for a couple of minutes until they are nice and tender.

Step 3: Scramble Eggs

Pour in 2 lightly beaten eggs into the wok with the vegetables. Scramble the eggs with the veggies until you get lovely chunks of egg mixed through everything.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

Re-add the cooked chicken to the wok. Then, add 3 cups of cooked rice (preferably leftover boiled rice).

Step 5: Finish the Fried Rice

Drizzle 1/4 cup of dark soy sauce over all the ingredients in the wok. Stir everything together until the chicken is heated through again, the rice is thoroughly mixed, and everything is lovely and fried.
