Kid-friendly chicken fried rice

Author Katerina | Once a Foodie

Ingredients

drizzle of olive oil (I use olive oil infused with garlic)
2 eggs, whisked
1/2 cup cooked green peas
1 bag mixed steamed veggies (about 75 g, chopped) (I used broccoli, carrot and green beans)
1/4 small red capsicum, diced
1 grilled chicken breast, chopped into small pieces
1 small can of baby corn, drained and rinsed (about 125 g)
1.5 bags steamed rice with quinoa (about 400 g)
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp tomato sauce (homemade, if you have any)
1/2 chicken stock pot (about 14 g)
1/2 cup water
handful of grated cheese (tasty or mozzarella, or a mixture of both)

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the whisked eggs.
Make a flat thin omelette by cooking the eggs on one side until firm, then flip and cook the other side.
Once the omelette is done, take it out of the pan, place onto a plate and let it cool down.
Once cool, slice the omelette into thin strips and set aside.
Cook the rice with quinoa in the microwave according to the instructions.
In the same frying pan, place rice with quinoa, green peas, steamed veggies, capsicum, chicken, corn, sesame oil, soy sauce, tomato sauce, stock pot and water.
Cook for about 5 minutes, until there is no more liquid.
Turn off the heat, sprinkle cheese onto the mixture as well as the sliced egg omelette. Mix all together and serve.
