Description

Orange Peppered Chicken is better than takeout and better for you without the deep frying. Serve with steamed rice.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Orange Juice, Fresh Squeezed
  • 2 cups Water
  • ½ cups Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 4 Tablespoons Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
  • ½ cups Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Orange Zest
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Ginger, Grated
  • 5 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Sriracha Sauce, Or Other Spicy Chili Sauce
  • ⅓ cups Water
  • 5 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 10 whole Mini Bell Peppers, Quartered And Seeds Removed
  • 5 whole Chicken Breasts, Boneless, Skinless Cut Into Bite Sized Pieces

Preparation

1. In a medium sauce pan, add the orange juice, 2 cups water, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, zest, ginger, garlic and Sriracha sauce. Bring to a slow boil over medium low heat.

2. Mix the 1/3 cup of water and cornstarch and set aside.

3. Over medium heat in a medium saute pan coated with cooking spray, saute the peppers for a few minutes until the skin begins to blister a little. Add the chicken pieces and saute until just cooked through and there is no more pink showing. Turn heat down to low and continue cooking until your sauce is ready.

4. Add the cornstarch mixture to the boiling orange sauce and stir constantly until it becomes thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and toss with the chicken and peppers. Serve immediately with warm rice.

This was awesome! Just tasting the sauce on its own I thought it might be too sweet, but once you mixed it with the meat and peppers (and we added onions) it was perfect! We will definitely be making this again. So my kids would eat it, we just took out their chicken before we added the sauce, but less-picky kids might like the orange flavor.
