Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
2 large chicken breasts diced into bite-sized pieces; pat dry for best results
2 large onions peeled and diced
3 medium carrots peeled, trimmed and diced
1 red pepper cored and diced
2 cups cooked and chilled rice
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 large eggs beaten
1/2 cup frozen peas
Sesame seeds and sliced green onion to serve (optional)

Directions

Brown the chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken on all sides, until browned.
Sauté the vegetables: Add the onions and carrots and cook until the onions
turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the pepper and cook until softened.
Cook the rice: Stir in the rice and cook until it's starting to brown. Stir in
the soy sauce and maple syrup.
Cook the egg: Push the fried rice to the side of the pan to make room in the
middle. Add the beaten eggs and cook over medium-low heat until just set. Cut
into pieces with a spatula and stir into the rice.
Finish the dish: Add the peas, stir everything well and cook until they're
hot.
Serve: Serve immediately sprinkled with sesame seeds and sliced green
onion, if you like.
