Sticky Orange Chicken with Nectarines pairs lightly floured chicken strips with a glossy, citrus-forward sauce that balances sweet honey and brown sugar with soy, ginger, and a touch of heat. Juicy nectarine slices add fresh, tart-sweet contrast to the savory glaze, making it a bright, summery dinner perfect for weeknights or casual entertaining.

1

In a small bowl, mix together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, hot sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic; set the sauce aside. On a large plate, lightly season the flour with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper; set aside.
2

Slice the chicken breasts into 1/2-inch strips. Dredge the strips in the seasoned flour; season with salt and black pepper.
3

Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips; brown on both sides for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Pour in the orange sauce. Lower the heat; simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Garnish the orange chicken with nectarine slices.
