Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil and cook diced chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes; remove and set aside.

Step 2: Microwave the ready rice per package directions and add frozen vegetables to the same skillet, cooking 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Push veggies to the side, scramble the eggs in the open space, then stir everything together with the chicken and rice.

Step 4: Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic, toss to combine, and cook 2 more minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip: Use day-old rice if you have it — fresh ready-rice works great too since it's already a bit firm.

Save by using Perdue thin sliced chicken breast is $3.99/lb and Ben's Ready Rice is 2/$5 this week, keeping this dinner under $10 total. and Serve with A side of steamed edamame or egg rolls.
