1Tablespoon12g Dark Brown Sugar
1TablespoonSmoked Paprika
1teaspoonGarlic Powder

1teaspoonDry Mustard

1/2teaspoonBlack Pepper
For the Fried Rice
3Tablespoons48g Olive Oil, divided
2cupsCooked Riceideally chilled overnight
2large Eggs
2Tablespoons38g Japanese BBQ Sauce*
Instructions
Mix the BBQ seasoning blend together and toss with the diced chicken breast. For best results, let the chicken rest at room temperature with the seasoning for 10-20 minutes before cooking.
To cook the chicken fried rice, heat 1 tablespoon (16g) olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken to the pan in an even layer. Cook for 60-90 seconds, allowing the chicken to brown, before flipping and cooking an additional 2-3 minutes to fully cook the chicken. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate or bowl and set aside.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons (32g) olive oil to the skillet and carefully add the cooked rice.
Create a well in the center of the rice and add the eggs. Scramble in the center of the pan before breaking apart and mixing into the rice.
Add the BBQ sauce and stir everything together, cooking for an additional 30-60 seconds until the sauce begins to caramelize on the bottom of the pan.
Turn off the heat and add the chicken back to the pan. Toss everything together and serve immediately.
Notes
*I used Bachan's Japanese barbecue sauce, but you can mix any BBQ sauce with a little soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and a splash of mirin.
