Description
BBQ Chicken Fried Rice is a quick and flavorful dinner option that combines tender chicken, mixed vegetables, and savory BBQ sauce with rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Mix the eggs with the vegetables.
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir in the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through.
- Stir in the sliced green onions and cook for an additional minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Remove from heat and serve hot.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or red pepper flakes when mixing in the sauces.
- Substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
