INGREDIENTS

  • 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces

  •  1/2 cup cornstarch

  •  2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

  •  2 tablespoons olive oil

  •  2 large oranges, juiced; plus more orange juice if necessary

  •  1/3 cup lite soy sauce

  •  1/4 cup honey

  •  1 tablespoon green onions, diced into thin rounds

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl or ziplock plastic bag, add the chicken, cornstarch, and toss or shake the bag to coat the chicken evenly; set aside.

​

2. To a large skillet, add the oils, orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and the chicken pieces but not any excess cornstarch that's at the bottom of your bowl or bag.

​

3. Turn the heat to medium, and cook until chicken is done and cooked through; flip chicken and stir pan sauce that's forming nearly constantly. Tip - If at any time your sauce is tightening or thickening up too much before the chicken has cooked through, simply add additional orange juice to thin it and keep stirring.

​

4. Evenly garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
