Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the 1 lb chicken breast, diced, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same skillet, add 1 diced onion and 1 diced carrot. Stir-fry until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the 3 cups cooked rice and 3 tbsp soy sauce. Toss everything together, breaking up any clumps, and cook until the rice is hot and slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the skillet, add the sliced green onions, and stir-fry for another minute. Serve with crispy rice crackers on top for extra crunch.
