In another bowl, stir together cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Add the marinated chicken and cook 3–5 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Cook the vegetables:
Add a drizzle of olive oil if needed.
Sauté onion and red bell pepper for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds to until fragrant.
Combine:
Return the chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and simmer for 1 minute.
Thicken:

Spoon over warm rice and serve immediately. Pairs wonderfully with fragrant jasmine rice.
