Instructions
Preparation Steps
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil, then sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
Stir in the peas and carrots, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until tender.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine and break apart any clumps.
Move the rice to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble until fully cooked.
Mix the eggs into the rice, then add the cooked chicken back in. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over everything, stirring to combine well.
Notes
For an extra crunch, top with crispy fried onions. Serve with lime wedges for added flavor.
