Ingredients

  • 3 TBSP butter
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 3-4 eggs large
  • 1 cup diced cooked chicken
  • 6 cups cold white rice cooked, day old

Instructions

  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once butter is melted, add in onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until translucent. 
  • Add in eggs, one at a time, stirring before adding another one. I always add 4 eggs- I like ours with a lot of egg! 
  • Once egg is pretty much cooked, add in chicken and cook, stirring often, for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in rice and stir to combine. Add in vegetables. Cook, stirring often for another 5-6 minutes, until rice is hot. 
  • Add in soy sauce and stir to combine, cooking an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Drizzle sesame oil over rice and stir once more. Serve hot!
