Gather @chicken breast{300%g}, @short-grain rice{600%g} and @black pepper{}.

Melt half the @butter{40%g} in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the @onion{1} until soft, about 3 minutes. ~{3%minutes}

Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

Add the rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir-fry until every grain is hot through, about 3 minutes. ~{3%minutes}

Pour in the @ketchup{6%tbsp} and toss until the rice turns evenly red-orange; season with @salt{} and pepper, then divide into 4 portions and keep warm.

For each portion, beat 2 eggs with a splash of the @milk{4%tbsp} and a pinch of salt.

Melt a little of the remaining butter in a small nonstick pan over medium heat, pour in one portion of @egg{8}, and swirl constantly until just set but still soft on top, about 45 seconds. ~{45%seconds}

Slide the soft omelette over a mound of the ketchup rice, cut it open down the middle so it drapes over the sides, and finish with extra ketchup. Repeat for the remaining portions.
