Step 1
Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium, add another 1 tbsp oil. Crack the 2 eggs into the skillet and scramble until just set, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
Step 4
Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the 1 cup frozen peas and carrots and stir-fry for 2 minutes until heated through.
Step 5
Add the 3 cups cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the rice is hot and slightly toasted.
Step 6
Return the chicken and eggs to the skillet. Add the 3 tbsp soy sauce and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until well combined and heated through.
Step 7
Stir in the sliced green onions and red chili. Serve hot.
