Ingredients

1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
1 red bell pepper (diced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 cup mixed vegetables
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
3 cup white rice (pre-cooked)
0.25 cup soy sauce (low-sodium)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat for 1 minute.
Add chicken breast to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Push the chicken to one side of the skillet. Add yellow onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to the other side and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in frozen mixed vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes.
Make a small well in the center of the skillet. Pour in the lightly beaten eggs and scramble them until cooked, then break them up and mix with the other ingredients.
Add the pre-cooked white rice, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be quickly reheated in the microwave.
