Description

This is the best chicken fried rice recipe because it’s loaded with tender, savory chicken, fluffy rice, scrambled eggs, and crisp vegetables, all tossed together with butter, soy sauce, and sesame oil for that authentic hibachi flavor you crave!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil
  • 4 teaspoons neutral oil (like avocado or canola; 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon, divided)
  • ¾ pound chicken breasts (cut into very small pieces, roughly half of "bite-sized")
  • 5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (divided)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)
  • ½ cup diced white onion
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups cooked rice (cool to touch, see Notes)
  • sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, warm 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil and 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) neutral oil. Once oils are hot, add chicken pieces. Let chicken cook for 1 minute without stirring.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to skillet. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, approximately 1 to 3 minutes. Stir no more than once or twice so that chicken will brown nicely.
  3. Transfer cooked chicken to medium bowl and set aside. Wipe out skillet (or wok) to use again.
  4. Heat 1 teaspoon neutral oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and frozen vegetables. Sauté until onions are almost translucent, approximately 3 minutes.
  5. Move vegetables to one side of skillet. Crack eggs into skillet and scramble with spatula until cooked through.
  6. Add 4 cups cooked rice and 3 tablespoons butter to skillet. Stir frequently and cook 5 minutes, then stir in 3 tablespoons soy sauce and cook 1 additional minute.
  7. Stir in chicken, salt, and pepper. Cook until everything is well combined and warmed through, then portion into bowls, garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve warm.
