Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by cutting the boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, and coat with cornstarch.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, grated ginger, minced garlic, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add half of the chicken pieces, and cook until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Transfer the first batch to a plate and repeat the cooking process with the remaining chicken.
- Pour the tangy orange sauce into the hot skillet and return the cooked chicken, tossing until coated.
- Plate your Easy Orange Chicken and garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
Notes
For best results, use freshly squeezed orange juice and grated ginger. Adjust spice levels to your preference.
