Skip to Step 2 if you’re not eating rice.)  

1. (Optional, if Eating with Rice) Rinse rice under water until the water runs clear, add 4 cups of water and 2 cups of white rice into a large pot, bring water to a boil, add a pinch of salt to water (optional) once water boils, reduce heat to low/simmer and cover the pot with a lid, cook for 18 minutes with the pot lid on until water is absorbed.

   and sprinkle with garlic powder, chili flakes sea salt and pepper. 
3. Stir the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through, then set aside on a plate.
