The first step is to make the white rice. You need 2 cups of uncooked white rice to make 6 cups of cooked rice. Follow the cooking directions on the rice package, then set it aside. Next, chop up the 6 stalks of green onions. Use all of the white and green parts of the onions.
Drain the liquid out of the 2 cans of chicken until the liquid is gone. Then divide the 3 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce equally into each can of the chicken, which is 1 and a half tablespoons per can.
The Eggs
Next, beat 6 eggs together in a bowl.
Put 4 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large frying pan. Then heat the pan on high heat until the frying pan is hot.
Next, put 6 cups of cooked rice in the hot frying pan, then fry for 2 to 3 minutes on high heat while stirring the rice.
Put the 2 fried rice seasoning packets and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce in the frying pan and stir together with the rice.
Move the rice over to one side of the frying pan, then add 2 cans of the chicken breast together with the green onions. Cook the chicken and onions for a minute or two and then stir them together with the rice.
Move the chicken, onion, and rice mixture to one side of the frying pan, then add 6 beaten eggs to the other side of the frying pan. Scramble the eggs while stirring the chicken mixture.
