Chicken

Pat the chicken dry and cut it into ½-inch cubes.

In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken, tossing to coat.

In a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot, add the chicken to the pan and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Add the sauce to the pan, and mix it all in. Keep cooking a little longer till the sauce thickens up to your liking, mixing periodically.

Serve over cooked rice.
