Chicken Fried Rice

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon oil to large skillet over medium/medium high heat.  Cook chicken in a single layer browning on both sides; approximately 2 minutes each side. Add more oil if needed. Transfer to plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon oil to same large skillet over medium/medium high heat.  Add onion, carrots, and peas.  Cook until crisp tender stirring several times.  Reduce heat to low.  Add garlic and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Transfer to plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 3

Whisk eggs and add 1/2 tablespoon butter to same skillet over low heat.  Add eggs and cook just until set. Remove from skillet and add to the plate with the vegetables.  Cover to keep warm.

Step 4

Melt remaining butter over medium heat.  Add rice to skillet. Drizzle with soy sauce.  Increase heat to medium high and fry until lightly browned.  Stir several times but not all the time so it has time to brown.  Work in batches if your pan is crowded.

Step 5

Drizzle the rice with sesame oil and sprinkle with green onions; stirring to combine. Return chicken, vegetables, and eggs to skillet and heat through.  If desired season with salt and pepper to taste.
