Cooking the Rice. Cook the rice in salted water according to the package instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes, until soft and the water is fully absorbed.

Slicing the Onion and Garlic. Cut the onion into half-moons and slice the garlic thinly.

Slicing the Bell Pepper. Cut the bell pepper into strips.

Slicing the Carrot. Cut the carrot into thin strips.

Slicing the Chicken Meat. Cut the chicken breast into strips.

Searing the Chicken Meat. In a hot pan with a bit of oil, sear the chicken meat on high heat for about 3-4 minutes until golden. Then remove the meat from the pan and set aside.

Sauteing the Vegetables. In the same pan, add the onion, garlic, carrot, and bell pepper and sauté on high heat for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.

Adding the Meat and Sauce. Return the chicken meat to the pan, pour in the soy sauce, and stir. Bring everything to a boil over medium-high heat.

Preparing the Starch. In a bowl, mix the starch with a bit of water to create a smooth slurry.

Thickening the Sauce. Pour the starch slurry into the pan and cook over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

Serving. Serve the Chicken Chinese Style with rice, ideally in a to-go box or on a plate.
