- 2 cups cooked white rice (day-old works best)
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken breast
- 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots (no need to thaw)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (reserve some for garnish)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil (for finishing)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the beaten eggs and scramble for 1–2 minutes until just set. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Toss in the peas and carrots, stirring for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the shredded chicken and cook for 1 minute to warm through.
- Stir in the rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Cook for 3–4 minutes until heated.
- Pour in the teriyaki sauce, mixing evenly to coat everything. Tip: If the rice seems dry, add a splash of water.
- Fold the scrambled eggs back into the skillet and drizzle with sesame oil.
- Garnish with green onions and an extra drizzle of teriyaki sauce if desired.
