Name: Chicken Fried Rice with Broccoli and Mushrooms
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 pound boneless chicken, diced small; 4 cups cold cooked rice; 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped small; 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced; 2 eggs, lightly beaten; 3 tablespoons soy sauce; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger; 3 tablespoons neutral oil; 0.5 teaspoon black pepper; 2 green onions, sliced; 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, optional

Instructions

1
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with pepper, and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, until cooked through. Transfer it to a plate.
2
Add another tablespoon of oil. Cook the mushrooms for 3 minutes, then add the broccoli and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover for 2 minutes, until the broccoli is tender-crisp. Move the vegetables aside.
3
Add the remaining oil to the empty side of the pan. Pour in the eggs and gently scramble them until just set.
4
Add the cold rice, garlic, and ginger. Toss everything together, breaking up any clumps, and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes. Cold rice is the secret here, sweetheart—it keeps every grain separate.
5
Return the chicken to the pan. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, if using, and toss for 2 minutes until hot and evenly seasoned.
6
Stir in the green onions and serve right away.
