Chicken and Coating

Orange Sauce

Vegetables

Rice

Method

Preparing the Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of white rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and cornstarch. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

  2. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Preparing the Vegetables and Sauce

  1. 4

    Stir-fry the Vegetables

    In the same skillet or wok, add the broccoli florets, sliced sweet bell peppers, and sliced onion. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  2. 5

    Make the Orange Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, red pepper flakes, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Pour the mixture over the stir-fried vegetables and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Combining Everything

  1. 6

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Add the fried chicken pieces to the skillet with the vegetable and sauce mixture. Toss to coat the chicken with the sauce evenly. Cook for another minute to heat through.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the orange chicken mixture over the fluffy rice. Enjoy your delicious Orange Chicken!
