Cooking Rice
  1. Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions, seasoning the water for extra flavor.
Cooking Chicken
  1. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  3. Remove chicken and slice into bite-sized pieces.

Serving

Notes

Timing is key: Don’t overcook the chicken; it should be juicy, not dry! For extra crunch, toss some panko breadcrumbs on your chicken before frying. Leftover chicken and sauce should be stored separately from rice to keep freshness.
