Cook rice according to package instructions. Set aside.

Heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for about 10 minutes until soft.

Add in the chopped chicken to the skillet and continue cooking until chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Transfer chicken and onion mixture to a plate and set aside.

Wipe out the skillet and heat up the remaining half of the oil. Scramble the egg in a small bowl and then pour it in the skillet. Once the egg starts to solidify, stir to break it up into small pieces.

Add in the chicken and onions, rice, black pepper, soy sauce, and some salt to taste. Stir until well-incorporated and heated through. Serve.

Meal prep note: leftover, refrigerated, cooked rice works great in fried rice. If you can, try meal prepping the rice ahead of time.

Mix ingredients in a bowl and serve.

For leftovers you can simply mix all the ingredients in advance and store in a tupperware in the fridge and then just serve and dress each time you eat.
