- 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- orange chicken sauce (ingredients below)
- toppings: thinly-sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, orange zest
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 3 Tbsp. cornstarch

- zest of one orange
- pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup dry quinoa

Method
Salt chicken generously with salt and pepper.
Warm oil in a large saute pan over medium-a hot burner. Tip in chicken and saute for about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and nearly cooked through.
Tip in the orange chicken sauce, and stir to combine. Let the sauce come to a boil, then boil for an additional minute or two until thickened. Lift from heat and serve while it is hot over quinoa or rice. Finish with green onions, sesame seeds and additional orange zest.
Beat all ingredients together until combined. If you would like the sauce to be even sweeter, add an extra 2-4 tablespoons of honey.
