Equipment

  • large skillet
  • wok

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked rice preferably day-old
  • 2 breasts chicken diced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 2 eggs beaten eggs
  • ½ cup green onions chopped
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables like carrots, peas, corn

Instructions
 

  • Start by tossing your diced chicken breast in soy sauce, cornstarch, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Let it sit while you prep everything else.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add your thinly sliced garlic and fry it gently until golden brown and crispy. Remove the garlic and set it aside on a paper towel.
  • Using the same pan, increase the heat to medium-high and add the marinated chicken. Spread it out so it sears evenly until golden and crispy. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  • In that same pan, pour in your beaten eggs and scramble until just cooked. Push them to the side or remove temporarily.

Notes

If you’re planning to make this as meal prep, divide it into containers and keep the crispy garlic separate until just before serving.
