Asian Orange Chicken
Ingredients
- Sauce:
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Chicken:
- 2 boneless and skinless chicken breast cut 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Take out a saucepan and pour the 1 1/2 cups of water, orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce into it. Stir in the brown sugar, orange zest, ginger, chopped onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bring it to a boil, then remove it from the heat to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Take your chicken pieces and place them into a resealable bag. When the sauce from the saucepan has been cooked, open up this bag and pour 1 cup of sauce into it. Reserve the remaining sauce, and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
- Take out another resealable bag, and mix the salt, pepper, and flour. Take your marinated chicken pieces and pour them into this bag. Seal this bag once more, and shake until the chicken is coated.
- Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place your chicken into this skillet, and brown them on both sides. Drain on a plate that is lined with paper towels, and cover it with aluminum foil.
- Wipe out the skillet and add your sauce. Bring it to a boil over a medium-high heat. Mix together the 2 tablespoons of water and the cornstarch, and stir into the sauce. Reduce the heat to a medium low, and add your chicken pieces. Simmer for about 5 minutes and stir occasionally.
