Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup orange juice
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) orange zest, grated
• 0.25 Cup soy sauce
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 3 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) brown sugar
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 4 Whole skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, diced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour
• 1 Cup bean sprouts
• 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. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the cubed chicken. Sauté the chicken for about 7 to 10 minutes, or until it is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
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 all-purpose flour into the sauce, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Allow the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency.
5. If using, add the bean sprouts to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, just until they are heated through but still crisp.
6. Serve the orange chicken stir-fry hot over a bed of crispy chow mein noodles. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
