Skinny Orange Chicken

If you are anything like our house, we love chinese food. There is nothing like a night at home with a little delivery of sweet and spicy orange chicken. Being gluten free and trying to eat clean makes this nearly impossible. I stumbled on this recipe on my blogging adventurers and decided to try it. It only takes about 25 minutes so it's a great week night option! 

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/4 cup GF chicken stock

3 tablespoons honey

2 cloves of minced garlic

1 orange, juice and zest of

3 tablespoons GF soy sauce

2 teaspoons siracha sauce

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1 pinch red chili flakes

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1 head of broccoli or one fresh bag

1 cup of cooked rice 

Brown chicken over medium high heat in coconut oil for 8-10 minutes until cooked thoroughly. Remove from pan and set aside. 

While chicken is cooking, mix together all remaining ingredients excepts, sesame seeds, broccoli and rice. Once chicken is done cooking, add mixture to the same pan that the chicken was cooked in. Reduce heat to low and reduce sauce until it coats the back of the spoon. Pour over chicken and garnish with sesame seeds. 

Serve over rice and broccoli. 

This was easy, fast and delicious! You can adjust salt and heat to your liking but we loved it as is!
