Chicken Fried Rice

Our family loves chicken fried rice from our local Chinese place so I decided to give it a try at home.  It was absolutely delicious and we will definitely be making it again.  Now I've just got to find a recipe for amazing egg rolls!

• 1/2 (12 oz.) chicken breast, chopped
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 (10 oz.) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
• 4 cups cooked white rice
• 3 eggs

• Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with soy sauce and sesame oil. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and marinade and stir-fry until chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; set aside. Add vegetable oil to skillet and heat over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in vegetables and cook for 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high, stir in rice until incorporated and cooked through, 3 minutes.
  3. Using a wooden spoon, form a well in mixture. Add eggs and scramble within well just until soft. Then break apart and mix into rice. Let cook undisturbed until a golden crust forms, about 1 minute. Turn rice with a spatula and cook other side. Repeat 2 or 3 times until rice is uniformly golden. Add chicken and stir to combine. Serve warm.
