Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked rice preferably day-old
  • 1 cup cooked chicken diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Method
 

  1. Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat; add oil if needed.
  2. Cook chicken and frozen peas about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peas warm through and chicken browns slightly.
  3. Push chicken and peas aside; crack eggs into empty side and scramble until fully cooked.
  4. Add cooked rice and soy sauce; stir until combined and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Taste; add soy sauce if needed. Serve hot.

Notes

Using day-old rice helps to keep the fried rice from getting too sticky. Feel free to add other veggies you have on hand like carrots, bell peppers, or corn. This dish is perfect for meal prep and makes great leftovers!
