Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

    Add 1 cup of diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  5. 5

    Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, and crack 2 large eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix with the vegetables.

  6. 6

    Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet along with 2 cups of cooked white rice, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Mix everything together and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
