Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons bacon grease, or the oil of your choice, divided
3 eggs beaten
5 cups COLD cooked rice *
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups cooked chicken, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, about 1 lb bacon
2/3 cup frozen peas
3 green onions (sliced thin)
optional: kosher salt (only as needed.)

Steps:

  • Warm a tablespoon of bacon grease, or oil, in a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl the oil to coat the surface of the pan. Pour the eggs into the pan and tilt as needed to spread across the skillet. Let the eggs cook for 2-3 minutes and then flip them over. Cook one more minute. Slide the egg out of the skillet onto a cutting board and allow it to cool. Cut into 1/2-inch wide strips and then cut into small pieces.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of grease, or oil, to the skillet and increase heat to medium high. Add the rice and stir to coat. Continue stirring and cooking for about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir well, to distribute the sauce throughout the rice. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is heated through.
  • Add the chicken, bacon, and peas. Stir and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, until everything is hot. Add the eggs and green onions to the skillet. Sprinkle with pepper. Stir gently to mix. Taste the rice and add salt, only if needed. Enjoy!

CHEF JOHN'S BROILED CHICKEN



Chef John's Broiled Chicken image

The next time rain ruins your dream of a grilled chicken dinner, I hope you fire up your broiler and give this easy, alternative method a try. Not only are you getting the same intense, direct heat, but you also have more control, since you can adjust how far the chicken is from the flame. I prefer the meat about 7 to 8 inches under the heating element, but feel free to adjust as needed. Garnish with freshly squeezed lemon juice and fresh oregano.

FRIED RICE WITH BACON



Fried Rice with Bacon image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 slices thick-cut bacon, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
6 large eggs
Kosher salt
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
6 ounces snow peas, trimmed and halved
1 orange, yellow or red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
4 cups cooked brown or white rice (thawed if frozen)

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and bacon; cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is almost crisp, 4 minutes. Add the sugar and 1 teaspoon soy sauce; stir-fry until the bacon is glazed, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon; reserve the drippings in a separate bowl. Wipe out the skillet.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Whisk the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; add to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until just set, 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and break up the eggs into large pieces.
  • Heat the remaining drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and ginger; stir-fry until the tomatoes are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the snow peas, bell pepper and scallions; stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and the remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce; stir-fry until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the eggs and cook 1 minute. Top with the bacon.

Tips:

  • When choosing chicken breasts, look for ones that are about the same size so they cook evenly. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.
  • To make sure the bacon is crispy, cook it over medium-high heat and don't overcrowd the pan.
  • If you don't have any cooked rice on hand, you can make fresh rice by following the package instructions.
  • Be sure to season the rice with salt, pepper, and soy sauce to taste.
  • When scrambling the eggs, use low heat and stir constantly to prevent them from overcooking.
  • To assemble the dish, place the rice on a plate, top with the chicken and bacon, and then drizzle with the egg mixture.
  • Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Broiled chicken with bacon over egg-fried rice is a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken and rice. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
