Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 cups jasmine rice (cooked and cooled)
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by mixing soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Pour reserved marinade over chicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate skillet, heat vegetable oil and sauté carrots and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes. Add peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add cooked jasmine rice to the vegetables, breaking up clumps. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Combine the crispy chicken with the vegetable fried rice, adding sliced green onions just before serving. Drizzle remaining sauce over the chicken.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
- For a healthier option, use skinless chicken and low-sodium soy sauce.
- Day-old rice works best for fried rice to prevent mushiness.
