Give your taste buds something different with these orange flavored boneless chicken with the nice bite of broccoli.
Yield: 2 serves
Materials
- 2 medium oranges
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes optional
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, diced
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 4 cups broccoli florets
Instructions
- Zest and juice the oranges. To a medium bowl, add 2 teaspoons orange zest and 1/2 cup orange juice.
- To the bowl, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, crushed red chili flakes (optional) and cornstarch. Whisk together the sauce then set it aside.
- Add the vegetable oil to a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.
- Add the broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes. (If the broccoli has been blanched, reduce the cook time to 1 minute.) Note: To maintain the bright green color of broccoli, blanch it in boiling water for 15 seconds then thoroughly drain and dry it.
- Add the prepared sauce and bring it to a boil until it has thickened and is syrupy in consistency, about 5 minutes. Serve over rice or noodles.
