Ingredients
- 150g (approx. 5.3 oz) diced chicken breast
- 1/2 tsp salt (for seasoning chicken)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (for seasoning chicken)
- 1 spray Frylite or cooking spray
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1 bag microwave rice (approx. 250g or 8.8 oz)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (plus more to taste)
- 1 tbsp Mayflower curry sauce (optional)

Instructions
- Season the diced chicken generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat one spray of Frylite (or cooking spray) in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the same pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the bag of microwave rice to the pan. Break up any clumps with your spatula and stir to combine with the vegetables, cooking for about 2 minutes until heated through.
- Push the rice and vegetable mixture to one side of the pan.
- Crack the egg into the empty side of the pan and scramble it until just cooked, about 1-2 minutes.
- Mix the scrambled egg into the rest of the ingredients in the pan.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the optional Mayflower curry sauce.
- Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are hot and well combined. Add more soy sauce if needed for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately, topped with fresh spring onion if desired.
