  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil Can substitute with avocado or sesame oil.
  • 2 Large Eggs Scrambled gently.
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas and Diced Carrots Can replace with bell peppers or corn.
  • 2 Green Onions Sliced for garnish.
  • 3 cups Cold Cooked Jasmine Rice Best if day-old rice.
For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced boneless skinless chicken breast and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the scrambled eggs, cooking gently for 2-3 minutes until just set. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
  3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and toss in the frozen peas and diced carrots, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  4. Add the cold cooked Jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking apart clumps. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to crisp the bottom.
  5. Return the chicken and eggs to the skillet, drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over, and toss to combine, heating through for about 2 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot.
