Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp ginger
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 carrot
- 2 green onion
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and toss with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, honey, rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Set aside.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Slice the red bell pepper and carrot into thin strips, chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and thinly slice the green onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot, stirring frequently for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the orange sauce. Stir to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
