Easy Chicken Fried Rice (Restaurant-Style)

  • Author: Chef Mia

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.

Easy to make and simply delicious. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Ready in just 10 minutes if you already have cooked rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked short grain rice (or cooked jasmine rice )
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil (toasted)
  • 1 tbsp regular soy sauce (or add more/less if desired)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (toasted)
  • 1 tbsp green onion (finely chopped)
  • ½ tsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
  • kimchi, canned tuna, roasted seaweed flakes, avocado, sauteed carrots/spinach/zucchini, or more protein

Instructions

  1. Mix hot cooked rice with butter until well combined. Transfer rice to a large bowl. (If you have leftover rice in the fridge, microwave it covered for 2-3 minutes or until hot. Or to make freshly cooked rice, refer to Notes section below for instructions).
