👩‍🍳 Instructions for Making Chicken Breast Fried Rice

1. Prepare the Chicken Breast

• Cut the chicken breast into small pieces. Heat the pan with a little vegetable oil and cook the chicken until fully cooked.

2. Prepare the Rice

• If using leftover rice, break up any clumps with a fork. Cold rice works best for fried rice as it’s less sticky and fries better.

3. Stir-fry the Vegetables

• In the same pan, heat vegetable oil and sauté minced garlic, carrots, and peas for 2-3 minutes until tender.

4. Add the Chicken

• Add the cooked chicken breast to the pan with the vegetables and stir-fry together until fully combined.

5. Fry the Rice

• Add the prepared rice to the pan and stir well. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and add chili powder if you like it spicy. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

6. Garnish & Serve

• Serve the fried rice in bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot!
