1 Prepare Ingredients and Make Sauce
Coarsely chop slaw mix.
Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.In a microwave-safe bowl, combine orange sauce (to taste) and butter.Microwave uncovered until butter is melted, 30-60 seconds.Carefully remove from microwave and stir to combine.Carefully massage rice in bag to break up any clumps. Remove rice from packaging.Pat chicken dry. -
2 Prepare the Chicken
Line a plate with a paper towel.
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add canola oil. Let heat, 5 minutes.While canola oil heats, in a mixing bowl, combine tempura mix, 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1/2 cup water. Stir until a thin batter forms, like pancake batter. Add chicken to batter and coat evenly.Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat. -
3 Cook the Chicken
Working in batches if necessary, lay chicken in hot oil away from you and flip occasionally until crispy, golden-brown, and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-6 minutes.
Cutlet thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner cutlet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner. Remove from burner and transfer to towel-lined plate.While chicken cooks, continue recipe. -

Add carrots, white portions of green onions, slaw mix, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.Once simmering, cover and cook until water is mostly evaporated and vegetables are tender, 3-5 minutes.Uncover pan and stir often until vegetables are lightly browned, 2-4 minutes.Add rice, a pinch of pepper, and soy sauce.
