Combine the chicken and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce and combine. Set aside while you fry the rice.
Add the sesame seed oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the rice and cook until it turns light brown stirring frequently so it doesn't burn. Add the garlic at the end when the rice is starting to turn brown and cook for a 1/2 minute or so.
Reduce the heat slightly and add the chicken and stir it in.
Stir in the broth and cover. Simmer the rice for 20 to 30 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Remove the cover and add the mixed peas and carrots and green onions. Stir in and continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes and the liquid is absorbed.
In a small bowl add to eggs and whisk.
Push the rice mixture to the sides of the skillet to make a well. Add the scrambled eggs
Cook the eggs stirring them until they are about set, then blend the eggs into the rice.
Add the remaining soy sauce or to taste.

Use long-grain rice, for the best results.
Sesame seed oil gives great flavor to the rice, but you can use vegetable oil, peanut oil, or canola oil.
Don't worry if you don't have a wok, use a skillet or a cast-iron skillet for delicious results.
Taste before adding additional soy sauce.
Serve soy sauce with the fried rice, so people can add additional if they desire.
