How to Make Large-Batch Chicken Fried Rice with Chicken Breast
This is a recipe for simple chicken fried rice made with chicken breast. It’s perfect for making a large batch and portioning it into the freezer for convenient meals. It uses few ingredients and can be prepared quickly.
Chicken Breast Fried Rice Ingredients (Large Batch)- 3-4 bowls of cooked rice
- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 stalk green onion
- 3 pieces chicken breast
- 3-4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- A little sesame oil
- A little sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Finely chop 1 stalk of green onion and add it to the pan. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. The infused green onion oil will significantly enhance the flavor of your fried rice.
Step 2
Dice the 3 pieces of chicken breast into bite-sized pieces (about 1-1.5 cm). Lightly season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper for added flavor. Add to the pan and stir-fry.
Step 3
Continue to stir-fry until the chicken breast is fully cooked through, ensuring the outside is no longer pink. It’s important to cook it thoroughly so it doesn’t affect the taste of the fried rice.
Step 4
Once the chicken breast is cooked, pour 3-4 tablespoons of soy sauce into the pan, preferably around the edges. This allows the soy sauce to caramelize slightly, deepening its flavor. Stir everything together to ensure the soy sauce is well incorporated.
Step 5
Add 3-4 bowls of warm cooked rice to the pan. Incorporate 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Oyster sauce adds a wonderful umami depth to the fried rice.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry to evenly distribute all the ingredients. Continue to stir-fry until the sauce is evenly coating every grain of rice. This ensures a delicious and well-seasoned fried rice.
Step 7
You can easily make a large batch of fried rice with this method. Once cooled slightly, portion the fried rice into freezer-safe airtight containers. Reheat in a microwave or pan when ready to serve. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra nutty flavor.
