A delightful Seared Orange Chicken and Broccoli dish with a tangy orange sauce, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the Orange Sauce: In a bowl, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  2. Heat the Oil: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the hot pan in a single layer. Sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Broccoli to the Mix: Toss the broccoli florets into the pan with the chicken. Stir-fry for approximately 3-4 minutes.
  5. Pour and Coat: Now, pour the orange sauce mixture over the seared chicken and broccoli. Stir it all together until the sauce thickens.
  6. Remove from heat and serve hot. Sprinkle sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top for garnish.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze as the broccoli may become mushy.
