Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup orange juice
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) orange zest, grated
• 0.25 Cup soy sauce
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 3 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) brown sugar
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 4 Whole skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour
• 1 Cup bean sprouts
• 1 6 Ounces (oz) package crispy chow mein noodles

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, salt, minced garlic, and brown sugar. Mix well until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced chicken. Sauté the chicken until it is cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 7 to 10 minutes.
3. Pour the prepared orange sauce mixture over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well and bring the sauce to a gentle bubble.
4. Gradually sprinkle the flour into the sauce, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
5. Add the bean sprouts to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until they are heated through.
6. Serve the orange chicken stir-fry hot over a bed of crispy chow mein noodles. Enjoy the vibrant flavors and satisfying crunch!
