  Now prep the chicken, on a clean cutting board (to reduce contamination with raw veggies) slide chicken breasts with a SHARP knife, against the "grain" into Very thin slices about 2 in long. *Great Tip*: Partially freeze chicken to make cutting thin slices MUCH easier ;)

  Heat Wok or Large frying pan on Med/High heat. Add the 1 Tblsp of COOKING oil, then add your garlic and sautee for about 30 seconds (dont scorch or overcook the garlic or it will become Bitter!) Add your fresh chicken and sprinkle with onion powder salt & pepper. Continue Sauteeing till cooked through and a little golden. This is a good time to start your rice...in a seperate pan, start boiling your water, add salt & butter and Prepare rice according to pkg directions for 2 cups dry rice.
