Ingredients:
-
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
-
2 oranges (zest and juice)
-
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
-
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
-
2 teaspoons cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
-
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 medium broccoli crown, cut into florets
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Optional garnish: sliced green onions, sesame seeds
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and cornstarch. Set aside.
-
Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil or sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add minced ginger and garlic, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
-
Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared orange sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and everything is heated through.
-
Serve: Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the orange ginger chicken stir-fry immediately over cooked brown rice or quinoa. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
