Add the olive oil, chicken and salt. Cook the chicken until lightly browned all over.
Add the chopped peppers, spring onion and frozen peas and cook for 5 minutes.
When the rice is cooked, drain it then add it to the wok along with the beaten egg. Stir so that everything mixes and the eggs begin to scramble and cook.
Finally, add the soy sauce and season with black pepper. If serving to kids who don't enjoy spicy food, dish up their plates first, then stir in the chilli flakes to the remaining stir-fry.
