Ingredients
For the Sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
For the Main Dish
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups broccoli chopped
- ¼ cup water
- salt
- **optional** sriracha, rice, noodles or lettuce wraps**
Instructions
- To make the sauce, whisk together brown sugar, orange juice, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, water, orange zest, sesame oil, corn starch and set aside.
- Add the ground chicken directly to a nonstick pan (no grease necessary) and turn the heat to medium high. As the chicken is cooking, break it up with a spatula.
- Once it’s mostly cooked through, add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in the orange chicken sauce and stir. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens up and turn the heat down to low.
- Add the chopped broccoli and ¼ cup water and stir. Put the lid on the pot and let the broccoli steam for 4 minutes until it’s cooked but still crunchy. Stir one last time and season with salt to taste.
- Serve over rice, or noodles or lettuce wraps with a drizzle of sriracha if desired.
