Ingredients
  

Chicken and Rice
  • 2 cups cooked rice preferably day-old
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast diced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking
Vegetables
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots thawed

  • 2 stalks green onions sliced
Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce optional for extra flavor

Method
 

Cook the Chicken

  2. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables

  2. Add the thawed peas and carrots, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir in the cooked chicken.
  2. Pour in the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix everything together and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.
Serve
  1. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, use day-old rice as it is drier and helps prevent clumping. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli.
