Supreme Savory Chicken Fried Rice: A Flavorful One-Pan Delight

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Cook the Vegetables:

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and thawed peas and carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the vegetables are tender.
Scramble the Eggs:

Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked, about 2 minutes. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetables.
Combine the Rice:

Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir to combine with the vegetables and eggs.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix everything together.
Season the Fried Rice:

Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil over the rice. Stir well to coat the rice evenly with the seasonings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce if desired.
Serve:

Garnish the chicken fried rice with chopped green onions and optional crumbled bacon. Serve immediately and enjoy!
