Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs or chicken breast
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 Tbs olive oil
Sauce
- 1 ¼ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbs rice wine/mirin
- 2 Tbs white vinegar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbs orange zest
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 1 1/2 Tbs freshly grated ginger
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 Tbs corn starch optional
Garnish
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Slice chicken into strips
- Salt and pepper chicken
- Put 1 Tbs olive oil in a large skillet, and heat over medium-high heat, add chicken to the pan and sear it on each side. Then remove from the pan. It won't be cooked through, that is okay.
- Add all the sauce ingredients to the pan, except the corn starch, and whisk it all together.
- Cook the sauce over medium high heat for 6-7 minutes until it starts to thicken, add corn starch if needed to help thicken, otherwise, leave it out.
- Add chicken back in, and let it cook through. Sauce should continue to thicken while chicken cooks, another 5-6 minutes, and should be fully thickened by the time the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve over rice, with a fresh veggie (broccoli, sugar snap peas, etc.) and garnish with sesame seeds.
Notes
Keeps for about a week in the fridge.
