Instructions
Step 1
Start by chopping the **chicken, vegetables, and garlic** into small cubes. Make sure everything is approximately the same size for even cooking.
Step 2
In a heated skillet, add a bit of **vegetable oil** and toss in the chopped chicken. Sauté until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, which should take about **5 to 7 minutes**.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and bell peppers to the skillet with the chicken. Continue to **sauté until the vegetables are tender**, about **3 to 5 minutes**. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
Step 4
While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, boil the rice separately until fully cooked. If you have a **rice cooker**, this will make the process easier. It usually takes about **15 to 20 minutes** depending on your method.
Step 5
Once the rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Pour in the **oyster sauce** and mix everything together well until all components are evenly coated.
Step 6
Heat the combined mixture on medium for an additional **2 to 3 minutes** to ensure everything is warmed through. Stir frequently to avoid sticking and ensure even heating.
Step 7
Your **Chicken Fried Rice with Vegetables** is ready to be served! Enjoy it warm and feel free to add a few extra veggies or chili sauce for a kick!
