Ingredients

Chicken

Orange Chicken Sauce

  • 2/3 cup 100% orange juice
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch

Optional Toppings

Instructions

  • First, prepare orange chicken sauce by mixing together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and sriracha. Set aside.
  • Next, crack 2 eggs in a medium bowl and whisk until scrambled. Then, place white whole wheat flour, garlic powder, and salt in another medium bowl and whisk.
  • Prepare chicken by thinly slicing into bite-sized pieces. Then, dunk each piece into the egg wash and coat with the flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken slices are fully coated.
  • Heat a tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pan over medium/high heat. Cook chicken pieces on each side for 2-4 minutes or until fully cooked. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to do this in batches. Add more oil as needed.
  • Once all chicken is fully cooked, remove from pan. Then, add in sauce and sprinkle in 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Whisk over medium-high heat until sauce has thickened and cornstarch has dissolved.
  • Add chicken back in and toss in sauce. Season with fresh orange zest and sesame seeds.
  • Serve with your choice of grain and veggie!
