One Sheet Pan Chicken Fried Rice

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 15-ounce can peas and carrots, drained (may sub 1 cup frozen/thawed peas and carrots, or 1 cup steamed fresh peas and carrots)

½ white onion, diced

2 large eggs, whisked

2 cups steamed white rice (you can use 2 packages ready rice like Uncle Ben's for even less prep work)

3 tablespoons sesame oil

⅓ cup soy sauce

Finely chopped green onions

Grease a large baking sheet and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange chicken pieces on pan in a single layer so they aren't overlapping and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 5 minutes.

Remove pan from oven, pour whisked eggs around the chicken pieces directly onto the pan. Return to oven for 3 to 5 minutes until egg is fully cooked. Use a fork or spatula to "scramble" the egg so that it breaks up into small pieces.

Add rice and peas and carrots to pan and toss all ingredients so they are evenly distributed. Drizzle sesame oil and soy sauce over everything and toss again. Sprinkle chopped onions over the top.

Bake for 5 minutes longer. Chicken should be cooked through and rice should begin to brown on the bottom of the pan.

Toss all ingredients one more time and serve immediately.
