Chicken Fried Rice For One

• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 large egg

½ tablespoon salted butter

½ cup chopped onions

¼ cup peas

¼ cup chopped carrots (about 1 medium carrot)

¼ cup corn

1 clove garlic (, minced)

½ cup cooked, shredded chicken

¾ cup cooked rice

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

½ tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, but recommended)

¼ teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

sliced green onions, for garnish

Directions

Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it thoroughly. Set aside to use later.

In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the chopped onions, peas, carrots, and corn to the pan. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.

Next, add the minced garlic to the pan. Continue stirring occasionally for an additional 1 minute.

Now, introduce the cooked shredded chicken and the cooked rice into the pan. Stir everything together for approximately 30 seconds or until both the chicken and rice are heated through.

Create a space on one side of the pan by pushing the rice, chicken, and vegetables to the other side.Pour the beaten egg into the cleared space on the pan. Allow it to cook until it starts to scramble.

Once the egg is nearly fully cooked but still slightly runny, gently mix it in with the rice, vegetables, and chicken to combine all the ingredients.

At this point, you can stir in the soy sauce and oyster sauce for added flavor. If desired, drizzle a bit of sesame oil over the dish for additional flavor.

Transfer the chicken fried rice to a bowl and garnish with chopped green onions to add a fresh and flavorful touch.
