Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the rice

If using leftover rice, break up any clumps with your hands. If using freshly cooked rice, spread it out on a baking sheet and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

2
Prepare the chicken

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2-inch cubes.

3
Prepare the vegetables

Peel and dice the carrots. Thinly slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.

4
Cook the eggs

In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble until cooked through. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside.

5
Cook the chicken

In the same wok or skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

6
Sauté the aromatics

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and white parts of the green onions to the wok or skillet. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

7
Add the vegetables

Add the diced carrots and frozen peas to the wok or skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

8
Add the rice and seasonings

Add the cooked rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the wok or skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice is heated through and well combined with the vegetables and seasonings.

9
Add the eggs and chicken

Return the scrambled eggs and cooked chicken to the wok or skillet. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until everything is heated through and well combined.

10
Garnish and serve

Transfer the Chinese chicken fried rice to a serving dish and garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions. Serve hot.
