Easy Chicken Fried Rice | PERDUE®

Step 1

Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. In a large wok or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and stir-fry until brown and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 170°F. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Step 2

In the same wok or skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Stir fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the red bell pepper, carrots, and peas. Stir-fry for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cooked rice and season with soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the cooked chicken and toss until everything is heated through.

Step 3

Push the rice, chicken and vegetables to the side of the wok and pour in the egg. With a spatula or wooden spoon, scramble the egg, breaking it up into small curds.

Step 4

Transfer Easy Chicken Fried Rice to a serving platter. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions. Serve with fortune cookies on the side!
