Description
BBQ seasoned chicken breast pieces with egg fried rice and a Japanese BBQ sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, diced
- 1 Tablespoon (12g) Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 3 Tablespoons (48g) Olive Oil, divided
- 2 cups Cooked Rice, ideally chilled overnight
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons (38g) Japanese BBQ Sauce
Instructions
- Mix the BBQ seasoning blend together and toss with the diced chicken breast. For best results, let the chicken rest at room temperature with the seasoning for 10-20 minutes before cooking.
- To cook the chicken fried rice, heat 1 tablespoon (16g) olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken to the pan in an even layer. Cook for 60-90 seconds, allowing the chicken to brown, before flipping and cooking an additional 2-3 minutes to fully cook the chicken. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate or bowl and set aside.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons (32g) olive oil to the skillet and carefully add the cooked rice.
- Create a well in the center of the rice and add the eggs. Scramble in the center of the pan before breaking apart and mixing into the rice.
- Add the BBQ sauce and stir everything together, cooking for an additional 30-60 seconds until the sauce begins to caramelize on the bottom of the pan.
- Turn off the heat and add the chicken back to the pan. Toss everything together and serve immediately.
Notes
- I used Bachan’s Japanese barbecue sauce, but you can mix any BBQ sauce with a little soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and a splash of mirin.
