Chicken Fried Rice

This chicken fried rice recipe is a simple, satisfying dish that turns everyday ingredients into something full of flavour and comfort. Using pre cooked basmati rice gives the dish a light, fluffy texture that is ideal for frying, and it also keeps the process quick and stress free. Tender pieces of chicken breast, soft scrambled eggs, and a handful of peas create a balanced mix of protein and vegetables, while soy sauce and toasted sesame oil add depth, savouriness, and a hint of nutty aroma that ties everything together.
