Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1″ cubes)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (or vegetable oil)
- ½ cup orange marmalade
- ½ cup orange juice (unsweetened)
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- ⅓ cup reduced sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Steps
-
Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and add 3 tablespoons corn starch, salt and pepper. Stir to coat.
-
Heat a large pan over high heat and add oil (add more oil if needed to coat the bottom of your pan).
-
Add chicken to the pan and cook over high heat, turning once, just until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
-
Meanwhile, make the Orange Chicken sauce. Whisk together the marmalade, juice, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, chicken broth and 2 tablespoons corn starch.
-
Once chicken is browned, reduce heat to medium and add the sauce. Cook and stir until sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked through (165° F minimum), about 10 minutes.

Serve over rice as desired.
