Ground Chicken Fried Rice is a quick and tasty meal perfect for busy weeknights. This recipe uses lean ground chicken and fresh vegetables for a healthy and flavorful dish ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground chicken
  • 3 cups cooked long-grain rice preferably day-old
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare all your ingredients by chopping the vegetables and measuring the seasonings to make cooking easier.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and cook the ground chicken, breaking it apart, until no longer pink and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Move the cooked chicken to one side of the pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the empty space, then add diced onions and carrots; cook them for 2 to 3 minutes until they soften.
  4. Clear a spot in the pan, pour in the beaten eggs, and scramble them constantly for 1 to 2 minutes until fully cooked, then mix them with the chicken and vegetables.
  5. Add the day-old rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir-fry everything together for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the rice to soak up the flavors and get lightly crispy.
  6. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and frozen peas, cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes until heated through and combined well.
  7. Sprinkle the white pepper on top and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
