Orange Chicken

Halved the recipe for 2 of us and added a pinch of chilli flakes as I did not have red pepper ones - very tasty but next time I would make the whole amount of sauce for 2 of us.

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• salt and pepper
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil

 Orange Chicken Sauce Ingredients:

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup honey (add more to sweeten, if desired)
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp. white pepper
• zest of one orange
• pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

Season chicken generously with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute for about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and nearly cooked through.

Whisk all ingredients together until combined for orange sauce , add and stir to combine. Let the sauce come to a boil, then boil for an additional minute or two until thickened. Remove from heat and serve immediately over quinoa or rice.

Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds and additional orange zest.
