Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

Fried Rice

  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil divided
  • 1 cup diced boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • ¾ cup frozen peas and carrots thawed
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice leftover or day-old is preferred
  • 2 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Garnish

  • 2 green onions diced

Instructions
 

Cook chicken

  • Heat a large skillet over MED HIGH heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil.
  • Add diced boneless skinless chicken breasts and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Remove to a plate, but don't wipe out the skillet.

Cook aromatics and veggies

  • To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Then add diced yellow onion, garlic, and minced fresh ginger.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and soft.
  • Slide the onion mixture over to one side of the skillet, then add fresh pineapple chunks and let them cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly caramelized and seared.
  • Add frozen peas and carrots and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes, or until tender.

Finish the rice

  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and add cooked jasmine rice, mixing well.
  • Add reduced sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, and toasted sesame oil and stir well to evenly distribute the sauces through the rice.
  • Cook another 3-4 minutes, until well mixed and warmed through.

Garnish and serve

  • Serve hot, topped with diced green onions if desired.

Notes

I’ve estimated this recipe serves about 4, but feel free to divide the skillet into as many servings as you’d like. Feel free to add additional seasonings to the chicken as it cooks.
