Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cleaned + cut into 1 inch cubes
4 cups steamed broccoli or green beans
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Sauce
2.5 cups orange juice
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup coconut aminos
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh ginger***
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
In a large frying pan, cook the cubed chicken in the toasted sesame oil until the edges are brown and slightly crispy (Approx 5-10 minutes)
As the chicken is cooking, stir together the sauce mixture in a separate bowl
Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked remove it from the pan and place it off to the side in a separate bowl.
Pour the sauce mixture into the same pan you cooked the chicken in.
Bring the sauce mixture to a boil for 15-20 minutes, stirring every minute or so until it starts to thicken. (You will know it has thickened when you scrape the pan and it pulls away from the pan)
