Cut the boneless chicken breast in half, then cut it into thirds to make chicken nuggets.

In a bowl, mix 2 eggs with some butter.

In another bowl, combine flour and a little corn starch.

Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, then coat it in the flour mixture, and set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan for frying the chicken.

Rinse the sticky rice in a pot and add water to it.

Add a little Larry's garlic salt to the rice for flavor.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken nuggets to the oil.

Fry the chicken nuggets for a few minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Remove the cooked chicken nuggets from the oil and place them on a plate.

Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken nuggets.

Check the sticky rice, stir it, and seal the pot to finish cooking.

Once all the chicken is cooked, mix it with the Panda Express orange chicken seasoning.

Serve the orange chicken on a plate with sticky rice and drizzle some sauce over it.

Add green onions on top as a garnish.
