Easy Orange Chicken
Good! Enjoyed by both males. Rod thought the sauce was a bit strong .
SERVES: 6
Orange Chicken Sauce
1/3 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice +2 tsp finely minced zest
3 Tab soy sauce (or tamari)
1/2-1 tsp chili-garlic paste
2 Tab brown sugar
2 minced garlic cloves
1 Tab rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 Tab cornstarch
1 kg boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 2″ cubes
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1. Preheat oven to 170 C (FF). In a large bowl toss chicken breast pieces with salt and olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake chicken cubes for 20 minutes on centre rack (if not FF) until cooked through.
2. While chicken is baking, prepare a sauce. In a small bowl form a slurry by combining corn-starch with water until fulling incorporated. In a small saucepan add all ingredients, including prepared slurry, and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 3-5 minutes, until sauce has thickened.
3. Once chicken is done, pour the orange sauce over the chicken and toss until chicken is fully coated. Serve warm over white rice or cauliflower rice. Enjoy!
