- 1-1/2 cup Leftover shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 carrot diced
- 1/2 cup frozen peas or 1 cup fresh snap peas

Garlic Soy Glaze
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or mixture between soy sauce and coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- red pepper flakes or crunchy chili condiment
Instructions
Make the Garlic Soy Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until the brown sugar is nicely incorporated. Set aside.
Cook the Veggies
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil or butter in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes. (If using fresh peas, throw them in when you add the chicken)
Scramble the Eggs
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Let them cook, scrambling them gently, until fully set (about 1-2 minutes).
Add the Chicken and Rice
- Add the leftover chicken to the pan, stirring to combine with the eggs and veggies. (If using fresh peas, throw them in now)
- Add the cold rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir everything together.
Add the Glaze
- Pour the Garlic Soy Glaze over the chicken and rice mixture. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the rice and vegetables evenly.
Final Touches
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more soy sauce if needed.
- Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, furikake, or crunchy chili condiment
