Ingredients

      Chicken

  • 1.25 lb chicken breasts, cut into 1.5 inch pieces

  • 1 tbsp low sodium tamari OR soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • generous pinch of black or white pepper

    Rice Mix

  • 2.5 cups cooked, chilled jasmine rice - day-old rice is preferred

  • 2 cups frozen mixed veggies (peas, carrots, corn)

  • 3 green onions, diced

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil

  • 2 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 tsp ginger powder, or less if desired!

  • generous pinch of pepper
     

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

    Garnish

  • 2 tbsp tamari

  • 2 green onion stalks, sliced

  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Set oven to 420F (216C).

  2. Lightly spray a sheet pan with oil, then place parchment paper inside so that it sticks to the inside.

  3. Prep the chicken: Toss the chicken pieces with tamari, sesame oil, and a pinch of pepper. Set aside.

  4. Prep the rice: In a mixing bowl toss together the chilled rice, frozen vegetables, green onions, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and avocado oil. Lightly season with more pepper if desired.

  5. Evenly spread the rice mixture over the sheet pan.

  6. Scatter chicken pieces evenly over the top (do not mix in with the rice).

  7. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes (max), rotating the pan halfway to ensure even cooking.

  8. Remove the pan from the oven. The chicken should be golden brown on top. Mix the rice and chicken together and create a large well in the middle of the pan.

  9. Beat the eggs and pour into the well.  Bake for an additional 5 – 7 minutes (or until both eggs and chicken are cooked through).

  10. Remove the pan from the oven and use a wooden or silicone spatula to chop and break up the egg center finely. Gently toss and fold everything together.

  11. Drizzle the remaining tamari over the rice. Gently toss together one last time.  Garnish with green onion, sesame seeds, sriracha, chili garlic sauce, or cilantro.
