Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by prepping your ingredients. Chop the chicken, dice the bell peppers, and mince the garlic and ginger. Break up any clumps in your day-old jasmine rice.
  2. Place a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped chicken pieces to the wok, spreading them out. Sear for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Lower the heat slightly and add minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add in diced bell peppers and frozen peas. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender yet crunchy.
  6. Introduce the jasmine rice, breaking up remaining clumps. Pour in soy sauce and sweet chili sauce, stirring for 2-3 minutes until heated and coated.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the wok and mix well with rice and vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
