Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice Recipe
Equipment
- 1 Large Skillet
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1 Cooked Rotisserie Chicken
- 2 bags or 2 cups of uncooked Rice
- 1 pat of Butter
- 8 Eggs
- 1 pat of Butter
- 1 cup of frozen Corn
- 1 small Onion chopped into small pieces
- 3-4 stalks green Onion chopped into small slices
Instructions
- Start by stripping all the meat you want from the chicken. I have a friend who only likes dark meat, so I make a bag for him at this time in the process. Chop the meat you want to use for the dish into small pieces. Cook the rice and let cool.
- Scramble your eggs and set aside with the chopped chicken. Sprinkle the eggs with black pepper.
- Melt a pat of butter in a large frying pan. Pour the cooked rice into the pan. Add the corn, pepper, green onion and white onion. Cook on medium to medium high, moving the ingredients around the pan, so they don’t burn.
- Add chicken and rice into pan. Add teriyaki sauce into pan. Mix it all together. Let it cook, stirring when needed, until everything is hot.
- I know you will love this dish!
Notes
- Use cold rice: It’s less likely to get mushy when frying.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Give each ingredient space to fry properly.
- Season at the end: This allows you to adjust the taste as needed.
- Constantly stir: This helps distribute heat and prevent burning.
- Prep your ingredients: Having everything ready makes the cooking process smoother.
- Taste as you go: This is the best way to ensure your dish is flavorful!

Is Teriyaki Chicken and Rice Healthy for You?
Healthy Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls with chicken teriyaki is a terrific summertime dinner that can also be fairly healthful. Serving it over brown rice is one of the key ways to make it healthier. The fact that brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice is one of its drawbacks. Still, the extra time is worthwhile because of the health benefits.
Why Is Teriyaki Chicken Pink?
Cooking produces chemical reactions. Meat tissue’s pink hue is caused by a chemical reaction between oven gases and hemoglobin in a hot gas or electric oven. Because of their thinner skin, which allows oven gasses to reach the flesh, the meat of younger birds frequently has the greatest pink coloration.
