Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 stalks green onions
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the 1 lb chicken breast, diced, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

    In the same skillet, add 1 diced onion and 1 diced carrot. Stir-fry until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.

    Add the 3 cups cooked rice and 3 tbsp soy sauce. Toss everything together, breaking up any clumps, and cook until the rice is hot and slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4
