Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Chop the green onions and set aside the green tops for garnish.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the frozen peas and carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack both eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until they are just set, then mix them with the vegetables.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the cooked rice. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, breaking up any clumps of rice.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine and evenly coat the rice.
Mix in the chopped green onions (reserving some for garnish). Taste and adjust seasonings with additional soy sauce or pepper if needed.
Serve the fried rice hot, garnished with the reserved green onion tops.
