Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into small cubes
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 3 tbsp soy sauce low sodium preferred
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked.
- Add the cooked rice, chicken, and frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 3-4 minutes to heat through.
- Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture, stir well to evenly coat, and cook for another minute. Serve hot.
Notes
