Instructions

Step 1

Place all the baked fried rice ingredients, except the vegetables and bacon, in a 13x9-inch metal pan (not ceramic or glass). Shake to spread the rice evenly, ensuring all the rice is submerged under the broth. Sprinkle the vegetables evenly across the surface, then sprinkle the bacon on top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for 25 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place the marinated chicken ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine. Set aside to marinate while the rice cooks.

Step 3

Remove the aluminum foil (reserve the foil), then spread the chicken in a single layer across the surface of the rice. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from the oven, cover with the reserved aluminum foil, and rest for 10 minutes. Use a rubber paddle to turn the rice over and gently break it up. Add the scrambled egg (if using). Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with the green onion. Gently toss the fried rice to mix it together, then serve!

Step 8

Cover everything with parchment paper. Push the paper down until it touches the rice and chicken mix. Put on the lid.
