Ingredients
Scale
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 large chicken breast, grilled and diced (about 1.5 cups)
In a wok or large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp sesame oil over high heat. Add the frozen vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
Add remaining 1 tsp sesame oil, heat, and then add rice. Press onto pan and let cook for 1-2 minutes. Toss, and add chicken, and soy sauce, stirring to combine well. Push all the food to the sides, leaving a clear space in the middle of the pan. Crack the eggs into the space and immediately stir. Once the eggs are cooked, stir everything together, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
Optional: I love a little sweet and/or spice in my rice, so I love to add a tablespoon of honey at the end, or hot honey. On other days I’ll add sriracha – try out different versions for yourself!
