Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by lightly greasing your crockpot with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the greased crockpot.
  3. Sprinkle the diced onion and minced garlic over the chicken evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce until smooth and well-combined.
  5. Gently scatter the frozen mixed vegetables on top of the chicken and sauce.
  6. Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
  7. Once the cooking time is up, stir in the cold cooked white rice until it's well combined with the meat and vegetables.
  8. Create a well in the center of the rice mixture and pour in the lightly beaten eggs.
  9. After the eggs have cooked, stir the mixture thoroughly to incorporate the eggs throughout the rice.
  10. Taste your dish and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of heat if desired.
  11. Cover the crockpot again and cook on high for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
  12. Before serving, generously garnish your Crockpot Chicken Fried Rice with sliced green onions.
