Step 1

1. Heat oil in a large pan. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook until done and transfer to a cutting board. Make slices approximately ¼ inch or 1 cm thick, then turn perpendicular and make cuts ¼ inch or 1 cm thick to make small cubes. Return cut chicken to pan and add 1 teaspoon (5g) garlic butter and salt and pepper to taste. Toss chicken in garlic butter until melted and remove to a bowl.

Step 2

2. Wipe out the pan, return to medium heat and add oil. Once the pan is hot, add the eggs, season with salt and pepper. Break up the egg as it is cooking and once finished, add scrambled egg to the bowl with chicken.

Step 3

3. Wipe out the pan, return to medium heat and add oil. Once the pan is hot, add the onion and carrot and cook until they are slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the green onion, stir to combine, and turn off the heat. Add the cooked vegetables to the bowl with the egg and chicken.

4. Wipe out the pan, return to medium heat and add 2 teaspoons of oil. Once the pan is hot, add the rice and spread out in the pan. Break up large chunks of rice with a spatula and cook the rice in the hot pan for 2-3 minutes, all the while breaking up the rice and turning it over in the oil. Once the rice has heated, add the bowl of cooked ingredients and mix into the rice until they are well combined.
