This fast, no-fuss chicken fried rice comes together in just minutes and delivers big flavor with minimal effort. Tender chicken, fluffy rice, scrambled egg, and colorful vegetables make this a reliable go-to meal for busy nights.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Sprinkle evenly with salt and rub it over all the pieces. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until blended.
Place a skillet over medium heat and add vegetable or canola oil. Once hot, pour in the eggs.
Allow the eggs to set on the bottom, then flip and cook the other side. When fully cooked, chop or break into small pieces. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Increase the heat to high and add more vegetable or canola oil to the skillet. Add the chicken and cook, stirring and turning occasionally, until fully done. Remove and set aside.
Add 1–2 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil to the skillet. When heated, add the diced onion and minced garlic.
Cook until fragrant, being careful not to brown or burn them. Add the cooked rice, breaking it up if clumped.
Stir constantly for 30 seconds, then add the chicken bouillon, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Continue stirring for about 1 minute, until everything is evenly combined.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables and stir for 1–2 minutes until incorporated.
Return the cooked chicken and egg pieces to the skillet and stir until everything is well mixed.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions.
