A quick and easy fried rice recipe featuring crispy chicken cooked on a Blackstone griddle, perfectly toasted jasmine rice, and fluffy scrambled eggs for a comforting and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice, preferably day-old
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn – frozen works great)
  • 3 green onions, sliced thinly
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or additional sesame oil)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken pieces with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Break up any clumps in the day-old rice with a fork. Thaw and drain frozen mixed vegetables if using.
  3. Preheat Blackstone griddle or pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Add a light coat of oil. Cook chicken pieces in a single layer for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Lower heat to medium-low. Melt butter on griddle or pan, pour in eggs, and stir gently and continuously until eggs are soft and fluffy. Remove just before fully set.
  5. Increase heat to medium-high. Add vegetable oil to griddle. Add rice and vegetables, stirring constantly to break up rice and get slight crisp. Add soy sauce and oyster sauce, mix well. Cook about 5 minutes until heated through and toasted.
  6. Add cooked chicken back to rice, stir to combine, and cook 2 more minutes to meld flavors. Turn off heat.
  7. Serve fried rice hot, topped with fluffy scrambled eggs and sliced green onions.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best texture. Cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook eggs low and slow for fluffiness. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce. For dairy-free, use coconut milk instead of milk. Leftover rice and chicken can be reheated with a splash of water or broth. Scrambled eggs do not freeze well.
