This easy Spicy Orange Chicken recipe is full of the amazing flavor you love, without restaurant-style calories!
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bites
salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 teaspoons ground ginger
3 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoons sriracha
1 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
zest of one orange (save a little for garnish if desired)
2 tablespoon cornstarch
14 ounce bag frozen stir-fry vegetables
white rice for serving
sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper and place in a gallon size zip top bag and set aside. In small sauce pan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil, sriracha, vinegar, brown sugar, honey and orange zest. Whisk mixture well, then measure out 1/3 cup of the mixture and pour it over the chicken, seal bag and marinate* in refrigerator at least one hour.
Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Heat large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken and saute 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and has lost its pink color.
Remove chicken from pan and place it on a plate lined with a paper towel. Add another tablespoon of oil into the hot skillet.
Add stir-fry veggies and cook over medium high heat until crisp tender, about 10 minutes.
While your veggies cook whisk corn starch into sauce, then bring to a boil. Once it boils it should start to thicken, boil another 1-2 minutes stirring constantly.
Once veggies are crisp, add thickened sauce and chicken into the pan. Stir the mixture to combine.
Serve over rice sprinkled with green onions.
