1 to 2 Chicken breasts or 10 Chicken Tenders cut into small pieces
½ cup soy sauce
2 carrots finely grated
½ white onion finely chopped
¾ cup frozen peas I leave these out
5-6 cups white rice cooked
½ cup butter **see note
1 to 2 Garlic cloves crushed or 1 tsp garlic powder (My family likes the garlic powder, It gives it a stronger garlic flavor)
3 scrambled eggs
green onion optional garnish

Marinate chicken in soy sauce for at least 30 minutes. (I pull my chicken out of the freezer and put the soy sauce on it. Then it can marinate in the soy sauce while it thaws. When it's thawed and ready then I cut it up)
In a very large frying pan, cook chicken in small amount of olive oil.
Add carrots and onions and sauté until clear. Add frozen peas and cook until soft. Then add the rice to the mixture.
Add butter, garlic, and scrambled eggs. Stir until butter is all melted. Serves 6.

I have made this with 1/4 cup butter and it works fine.
