Ingredients

  • Sesame Oil
  • Neutral Oil
  • Chicken Breasts
  • Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • Butter
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Diced White Onion
  • Frozen Mixed Vegetables
  • Large Eggs
  • Cooked Rice
  • Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  • Heat sesame oil and neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken pieces and cook until no longer pink, then transfer to a bowl.
  • Sauté diced onion and frozen mixed vegetables until onions are translucent.
  • Scramble eggs in the skillet until cooked and fluffy, then mix with veggies.
  • Add cooked rice, butter, and stir for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in cooked chicken and remaining soy sauce, adjust seasoning, and heat through.

Notes

Using day-old rice improves texture and keeps it from becoming mushy.
For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu and skip the eggs.
Stirring occasionally while cooking helps achieve an even heat.
