Chicken Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked jasmine or long grain rice, cold
• 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• Chopped green onions, for serving

Directions

1. Use cold, day-old rice if you have it. Fresh warm rice steams instead of frying and turns the dish mushy.
2. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and cut the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces.
3. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, onion, and garlic and cook 2-3 minutes, until the edges of the onion start to brown.
4. Add the rice, frozen vegetables, chicken, and sesame oil. Stir to combine and cook 3-5 minutes, then push everything to one side of the pan.
5. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble them until just set, then stir them through the rice. Add the soy sauce and cook 1-2 minutes more.
6. Top with green onions and serve warm.
