Flavorful Chicken Fried Rice

In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of vegetable oil. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced carrots, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Add the cooked white rice to the skillet, along with the cooked chicken, beaten egg, and frozen peas. Stir to combine.

Stir in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, mixing gently until everything is thoroughly combined.

Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and serve topped with sliced green onions, if desired.
