Healthier Orange Chicken Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 12oz broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Chicken:

• 1 lb chicken breast, cut into pieces
• 3 green onions, diced (whites & greens separated)
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• 1 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp orange juice
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 ginger powder

For the Sauce:

• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp ginger powder
• 1 tbsp chili crunch (I used Fly By Jing)
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp corn starch

Directions

1. Mix together all the chicken ingredients and let sit for 5-10 minutes. While marinating, mix together the sauce ingredients and set to the side.
2. Cook rice according to package directions.
3. Heat half of the olive oil in a pan. Once hot, add the broccoli and saute 5-7 minutes until tender.
4. Heat remaining olive oil in a separate pan on medium/low heat. Once warm, add the white part of the green onion and the chicken. Cook the chicken a few minutes each side until lightly browned.
5. Add the sauce to the pan with the chicken and cook a few minutes until sauce is thickened and chicken is cooked through.
6. Serve chicken over rice with sautéed broccoli. Top with sesame seeds and green parts of the green onions. Enjoy!
