Chicken and Bacon Fried Rice
A quick and savory twist on fried rice, loaded with tender chicken, crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, and fresh green onions. Perfect for a quick meal with big flavor!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons bacon grease or oil of your choice, divided
- 3 eggs beaten
- 5 cups cold cooked rice
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups cooked chicken cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 2/3 cup frozen peas
- 3 green onions sliced thin
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of bacon grease or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook without stirring until they begin to set. Gently scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of bacon grease or oil and heat over medium-high. Break the cold rice into chunks and add to the skillet, stirring to coat with the oil and heat through.
- Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even heating.
- Add the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir together, allowing the ingredients to heat through. Gently fold the cooked eggs and sliced green onions into the mixture.
- Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
For added flavor, use day-old rice to achieve a more authentic, slightly chewy texture.
