BBQ Chicken Fried Rice is a delicious twist on traditional fried rice, featuring tender chicken breast seasoned with a smoky BBQ blend, combined with fluffy rice and savory Japanese BBQ sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

For the BBQ Chicken

  • 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

For the Fried Rice

  • 3 Tablespoons (48g) Olive Oil, divided
  • 2 cups Cooked Rice, ideally chilled overnight
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons (38g) Japanese BBQ Sauce*

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons (32g) olive oil to the skillet and carefully add the cooked rice.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Turn off the heat and add the chicken back to the pan. Toss everything together and serve immediately.
