FLAVORFUL MARINATED CHICKEN FRIED RICE (a delicious homemade alternative to takeout)

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

 INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1: MARINATE THE CHICKEN
– Combine Marinade: In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

STEP 2: COOK THE CHICKEN
– Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
– Sauté Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

STEP 3: COOK THE VEGETABLES
– Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, cooking until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
– Add Mixed Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender.

STEP 4: ADD RICE AND EGGS
– Incorporate Rice: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.
– Scramble Eggs: Push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them into the rice.

STEP 5: FINISH AND SERVE
– Combine Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
– Garnish: Stir in the chopped green onions just before serving.
