Tips
- For the cornstarch slurry, it's recommended to add it after the chicken is done cooking and let it sit uncovered for 15-20 minutes so you can better assess the need for thickening.
- You can mix the rice directly with the chicken or keep them separate if you prefer.
- Store the meal prep bowls frozen.
