Description

A tasty and healthier version of orange chicken! It’s been kid-approved too!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • ¾ cups Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 2 whole Blood Oranges
  • ½ whole Lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Blood Orange Zest
  • ½ cups Rice Wine Vinegar
  • ¼ cups Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Sriracha Sauce (optional)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, Grated
  • ¼ cups Green Onions (garnish)

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together flour, corn starch, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Rinse the chicken pieces in cold water and shake off the excess water. Add the chicken pieces to the dry mixture and toss until thoroughly coated.

Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan. Distribute the chicken pieces evenly in the pan and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.

Juice the two blood oranges and half of a lemon.

In a small saucepan, combine the sauce ingredients: citrus juices, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sugar, sriracha, garlic, and ginger. Over medium heat, bring the sauce to a gentle boil stirring constantly. Once the sauce is boiling, turn it down to medium-low and cook for about 10 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken. Stir frequently to avoid burning the sauce.

Put the cooked chicken in a pan over medium heat and pour the sauce over the chicken to coat. Cook for a few minutes, until the chicken is warm again.

Serve with rice and steamed vegetables.

I tried this recipe last night, and thought it was awesome! Admittedly, the “Blood Orange Chicken” recipe title caught my eye. I actually liked it so much, I had to register and post my review! Great blog too!

I’m tempted to make it for dinner again tonight, but I should probably explore this website for other gems! Looking forward to your next post!
