Orange & Honey Chicken

Made this for 4 people and served with rice & peas - nice and orangey.



  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp corn flour
 Orange & Honey Sauce Ingredients:
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 sliced spring onions
  • Juice from 3 oranges
  • 2 tbsp honey (add more to sweeten, if desired)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 pint chicken stock
  • zest of one orange
  • 1 carrot thinly sliced - I used a peeler
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch

Season chicken generously with salt and pepper and toss in the cornflour.

Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and nearly cooked through. Transfer to a plate and make the sauce.

Fry the onions and garlic.
Add remainder of ingredients except carrot and bring to a boil then boil for an additional minute or two.

Add chicken and carrot and cook slowly for 10 minutes; if sauce too thin add some more cornstarch or white granules.

Garnish with sesame seeds and additional orange zest.
