Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
– 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon dry mustard
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
– 2 cups cooked rice, ideally chilled overnight
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons Japanese BBQ sauce (or mix BBQ sauce with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and mirin)
Instructions
1-First, combine the BBQ seasoning ingredients: 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss this with the 1 pound diced chicken breast and let it rest at room temperature for 10-20 minutes before cooking.
2-Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer and cook for 60-90 seconds to brown, then flip and cook for 2-3 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
3-Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Then, add the 2 cups cooked rice and fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to become slightly crispy and golden brown.
4-Create a well in the rice and add the 2 large eggs, scrambling them in the center before mixing them into the rice.
5-Stir in the 2 tablespoons Japanese BBQ sauce and cook for 30-60 seconds until it begins to caramelize on the panβs bottom.
6-Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, toss everything together, and serve immediately.
