A quick and healthy recipe for orange chicken, featuring tender chicken stir-fried in a sweet and tangy orange sauce. Serve with rice and steamed broccoli for a complete meal.
1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes and season with salt, pepper, and cornstarch; set aside.
2. Mix together all the ingredients for the sauce (orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced ginger, minced garlic, orange zest, red pepper flakes, cornstarch, and sliced scallion whites) and set aside.
3. Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat and then stir-fry the seasoned chicken in oil for 5-7 minutes until almost cooked through.
4. Add the prepared sauce to the pan and continue stir-frying until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked through (this typically takes an additional 3-5 minutes).
5. Sprinkle the reserved scallion greens on top and serve immediately with white rice or cauliflower rice and steamed broccoli.
