Orange Chicken

I love making orange chicken. It's one of my favorite braising dishes.

Once you've seared the chicken, remove it from the skillet and prepare the sauce.


I vary the ingredients sometimes, but these are the general ingredients


What You'll Need:

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, seared for several minutes to be browned
1 jar of sugar-free orange marmalade (Saves on calories! Only 10 calories a tablespoon rather than 50!)
2 teaspoons of ginger
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup orange juice
crushed red pepper flakes to taste

How You'll Do It:

1. Once you've removed the chicken, deglaze the pan with water or some of the orange juice.
2. Add all the sauce ingredients and mix well. Bring to a boil.
3. Once it's boiling, lower the heat and bring it to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the pan and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
4. Enjoy!

Sorry I don't have a finished picture, this attempt wasn't very photogenic. I served it with brown rice and broccoli, the perfect replacement for fatty take-out!
