Chicken Fried Rice Ingredients
- 2 cups boiled, chilled rice
- 1 medium-sized onion (finely chopped)
- 200 grams boneless chicken (cut into small pieces)
- 1 carrot (cut into small pieces)
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers

How to make Chicken Fried Rice Step by Step
Cook the chicken
First, heat oil in a pan or wok, then add ginger-garlic paste and fry lightly. Now add chopped chicken pieces to it and cook it well on a medium flame. When the chicken becomes soft and light golden, take it out onto a plate.
Roast the vegetables
Now add some more oil in the same pan, then add onion and fry till it becomes light brown, then add carrot, green chili, and capsicum in it. Now cook the vegetables on a high flame for two to three minutes while stirring so that their crunch remains.
Mix the rice
Now put the cooked chicken back into the pan. Then add the cooled boiled rice and mix it gently. Then add salt, soy sauce, and black pepper and mix well. Stir on high for two to three minutes so that all the flavors meld together.
Then turn off the heat, sprinkle coriander leaves on top, and serve.
