Easy Orange Chicken Skillet

Easy Orange Chicken Skillet

Orange Chicken is one of the *MOST* requested meals currently, and throughout this past year by my teenagers. Once a week, someone is begging for it…Needless to say, I’ve had a lot of practice making this dish, and getting the flavors just right!  You know…a little tiny kick but not too much (says the 13-year-old), perfectly sweetened, nice and orangy with a tiny lil’ bit of tang. Really fresh tasting too thanks to the orange zest.

It’s Gluten-free, quick to make, and really, really GOOD.

Feel free to add or take away ingredients at your house. For example, I LOVE spicy, so if I was making this just for myself, I’d add more chili peppers. Some like more or less garlic & ginger. It’s super customizable to your tastes.

 Rachel’s Tips

The one thing I do recommend is using super fresh ingredients. Fresh oranges that you juice yourself. Fresh garlic, fresh ginger etc. Because there are only a few ingredients, it’s important they are all the freshest.

Orange Chicken is EXCELLENT for meal prep too! Just add your brown rice and steamed broccoli  Stays great in the fridge for 4 days.
