Introduction

Since traditional orange chicken is breaded and deep fried, I just use the sauce as a stir fry sauce and add a bunch of our favorite vegetables.

If you want to add more than 1 lb. of vegetables, I would double the sauce recipe. Since traditional orange chicken is breaded and deep fried, I just use the sauce as a stir fry sauce and add a bunch of our favorite vegetables.

Ingredients

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 2" pieces

1 lb. vegetables of your choice

Sauce:

2 t orange zest

1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (about what you would get from 1 large orange)

1/2 t sugar

2 T chicken stock

1 T soy sauce

1 T minced ginger root

1 t minced garlic

1 tbs. rice wine

1/4 cup water

Directions

You can cook this a couple of different ways.

1) Stir fry the chicken and remove from wok. Stir fry the vegetables until crisp tender. Add chicken back to wok, reduce heat to medium-low, add sauce and cook until slightly thickened.

2) Grill or broil chicken. Steam or microwave vegetables until crisp tender. Add sauce ingredients to a sauce pan and cook over medium low heat until slightly thickened. Mix chicken, vegetables and sauce.

Serve with rice.
