Push the rice to the side of the wok and pour liquid eggs into the cleared space, scrambling them until cooked. Mix the scrambled eggs into the rice.

Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the marinated chicken breast on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
