Tips
For thickening the sauce, add the cornstarch slurry after the chicken is done cooking to better assess the need for thickening.
Mixing the rice directly with the chicken makes portioning super easy and allows the rice to soak up all the flavor, but you can also keep them separate.
Store frozen and reheat for lunches throughout the week.
