Wipe out the pan with a paper towel. Heat the remaining teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and carrot to the pan, cook 3-5 minutes or until softened.
Add the rice to the pan, along with the reserved chicken, egg, and frozen peas. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil and mix gently until everything is thoroughly combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper and top with sliced green onions if desired. Serve.
