Prep: 5 min · Cook: 10 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Stovetop
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked white rice
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking instructions
- Break up the cold rice with your fingers. Shred the rotisserie chicken, mince the garlic, and slice the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate. (about 2 min)
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the canola oil, then add the eggs and scramble until just set, about 1 minute. Transfer the eggs to a plate. (about 1 min) — Medium-high heat
- Add the remaining canola oil. Stir-fry the garlic and white parts of the green onions for 30 seconds, then add the frozen peas and carrots and cook until hot, about 2 minutes. (about 2 min) — Medium-high heat
- Add the cold rice and black pepper. Toss and stir-fry until the rice is hot and separated, about 3 minutes. (about 3 min) — Medium-high heat
- Stir in the chicken and cooked eggs. Cook, tossing often, until the chicken is steaming hot throughout and reaches 165°F (74°C), about 2 minutes. (about 2 min) — Medium-high heat
- Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing until evenly coated. Remove from the heat, garnish with the green parts of the onions, and serve immediately. (about 1 min)
