Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Sauté the Aromatics and Veggies:
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
Add the diced onion and garlic, and cook until fragrant and translucent.
Stir in the peas and carrots, cooking for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
Scramble the Eggs:
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.
Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until just set. Mix the eggs into the vegetables.
Add Rice and Chicken:
Increase the heat to high and add the cooked rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps and stir well to combine with the veggies and eggs.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir everything together.
Season the Fried Rice:
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly to coat the rice evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce or salt if needed.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the fried rice for a fresh pop of flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy!
