Instructions
-
Prepare ingredients: Ensure the rice is cold to avoid mushiness. Chop chicken, vegetables, and green onions, and set aside.

Cook chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and browned. Remove and set aside.

Cook eggs: In the same pan, melt butter with another tablespoon of oil. Scramble eggs until cooked, then set aside with chicken.
-
Sauté vegetables: Add remaining oil to the pan and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add veggies and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add peas and carrots, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
-
Combine rice: Add cold rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir in soy and oyster sauce.
-
Add chicken and eggs: Return chicken and eggs to the pan, mixing well with rice and vegetables. Add green onions and stir to combine.
-
Season: Adjust with extra soy sauce, hot sauce, or red pepper flakes as desired.
-
Serve: Remove from heat, serve immediately, and enjoy!
