Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (for serving)
  • Green onions and sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the cubed chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and pour the sauce over the chicken. Stir well.
  5. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  6. Add chili flakes for a spicy kick, if desired.
  7. Serve the orange chicken over cooked rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari. Pair with steamed broccoli or your favorite veggies for a complete meal.
