Main Ingredients- 1/2 can Orange Chicken Breast (or regular chicken breast, to taste)
- 1/4 Red Bell Pepper
- 1/4 Yellow Bell Pepper
- 1/4 Green Bell Pepper
- 1 bowl Warm Cooked Rice
Seasoning & Others- 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil (or Olive Oil)
- 1 tsp Oyster Sauce
- A pinch of Black Sesame Seeds
- Shredded Seaweed (optional)
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil (or Olive Oil)
- 1 tsp Oyster Sauce
- A pinch of Black Sesame Seeds
- Shredded Seaweed (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the chicken breast. If using canned orange chicken breast, drain the liquid from the can and shred the chicken breast along the grain into bite-sized pieces. If using regular chicken breast, you can boil or pan-fry it and then shred or dice it.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the colorful bell peppers. Wash the red, yellow, and green bell peppers thoroughly, remove the seeds, and dice them into small pieces, similar in size to the chicken breast or slightly smaller.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil (or olive oil) in a pan over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken breast and stir-fry until lightly golden brown. The chicken will develop a savory aroma as it cooks.
Step 4
Once the chicken breast is mostly cooked, add 1 bowl of warm cooked rice. Use a spatula to gently break apart the rice clumps and stir-fry until the rice grains are separated and slightly toasted. Cooking the rice until it’s fluffy is key.
Step 5
Next, add the vibrant yellow and red bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry them with the rice and chicken for about 1-2 minutes, just until they start to soften slightly. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
Step 6
Add 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, which is crucial for the flavor of the fried rice, and stir well to combine. Cook for another minute until everything is evenly seasoned. Oyster sauce alone will give the fried rice a delicious umami flavor.
Step 7
Just before turning off the heat, add the green bell peppers. Stir them in gently using the residual heat of the pan. The fresh green color of the bell peppers will enhance both the visual appeal and the taste of the fried rice.
Step 8
Finally, transfer the finished fried rice to a serving plate. Sprinkle generously with black sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor. If you have shredded seaweed, you can top it off for an even more delicious finish. Enjoy your tasty Chicken Breast and Bell Pepper Fried Rice!
