Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Spray a large wok or pan/skillet with cooking spray and preheat to medium heat. Add chicken and let cook on one side about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, cover and cook 4-5 minutes, flip the chicken, and cook the second side 4-5 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Drain the pan and transfer the chicken to a bowl. Shred with two forks and set aside.
  2. Add onions, peas and carrots to the pan along with sesame oil. Saute 2-3 minutes until onions are tender and clear. Push the veggies to the side a bit and add eggs to the empty part of the pan. Cook 2-3 minutes until fried. Stir into the veggies. Add soy sauce, ginger, garlic powder, and chili powder.
  3. Add cooked rice and chicken and cook another 3-4 minutes, stirring throughout until rice is browned.

Notes

  • Round this out into a full meal by adding your favorite vegetables! Some of my favorites include broccoli, baby corn, and bell peppers.
