Chicken and Bacon Fried Rice
  1. 1

    Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; add the rice and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken; cook until the centers are no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the saucepan with the rice.

  3. 3

    Cook the bacon in the wok or skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until done but not crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off and discard all but 1 to 2 tablespoons of drippings from the wok. Cut the bacon into small pieces; set aside.

  4. 4

    Return the wok to medium-high heat. Add the rice, chicken, bacon, green onions, and soy sauce; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
