Ingredients

1 lb chicken thighs
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp extra light olive oil
4 large eggs
5 cups cooked white rice
2 tbsp soy sauce or added to taste (optional)
1 1/2 tsp sesame oil (optional)
12 oz frozen peas and carrots
1/4 cup green onion

Steps

Cut the chicken thighs into small pieces and season them with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 7 to 9 minutes, until it reaches 165 F.
Push the chicken aside, add 1 tablespoon oil, and scramble the eggs until firm, about 3 minutes.
Add the remaining oil, rice, peas, and carrots, then stir-fry for 6 to 8 minutes until hot.
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken, and green onion, then cook for 2 minutes.
