Why Make This Recipe

Chicken Egg Fried Rice is a delicious and versatile dish. It’s a great way to use leftover chicken, and it’s quick to prepare. Plus, it’s packed with protein from the egg and chicken, making it a filling meal. You can whip it up in just a few minutes, perfect for busy weeknights or a tasty lunch.

How to Make Chicken Egg Fried Rice

Ingredients:

1 tsp vegetable oil
1 large free-range egg, lightly beaten
2 spring onions, sliced
50g/1¾oz frozen peas
250g pouch microwavable rice
Large handful leftover roast chicken (or shop-bought cooked chicken), shredded
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp dark soy sauce

Directions:

Heat half the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat until it just starts to smoke.
Add the egg and quickly stir-fry until just under-cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside.
Heat the rest of the oil in the wok and add the spring onions and frozen peas. Stir-fry until the peas have defrosted.
Squeeze the rice pouch a few times to break up the rice, then add the rice to the pan with the roast chicken. Stir-fry until the rice has started to crisp a little and the chicken is hot through.
Stir in the cooked egg, toasted sesame oil, and soy sauce. Serve immediately.

How to Serve Chicken Egg Fried Rice

Serve Chicken Egg Fried Rice hot, straight from the pan. It makes a great main dish or a side for other Asian-inspired meals. You can garnish it with extra spring onions if you like.

How to Store Chicken Egg Fried Rice

If you have leftovers, let the Chicken Egg Fried Rice cool down. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat it thoroughly in a pan or microwave before serving.

Tips to Make Chicken Egg Fried Rice

Make sure not to overcook the egg; it should remain soft and moist.
You can substitute the chicken with any leftover meat or tofu for a vegetarian option.
For extra flavor, add garlic or ginger when stir-frying the spring onions.

Variation

You can customize this dish by adding other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or corn. If you like spicy food, toss in some chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

FAQs

Can I use frozen rice instead of microwavable rice?
Yes, you can use frozen rice. Just make sure to thaw it before cooking to ensure even heating.

Is this dish gluten-free?
This recipe is not gluten-free due to the soy sauce. You can use a gluten-free soy sauce alternative if needed.

Can I make this vegetarian?
Absolutely! Just replace the chicken with tofu or omit it entirely, and use vegetable stock instead of soy sauce if you want a fully vegetarian dish.
