How to Make Orange Chicken with Rice
- Prep the Chicken: Start by dicing the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, freshly squeezed orange juice, minced garlic, ginger, and brown sugar. Whisk until well-blended, then add the chicken pieces, coating them thoroughly. Let this marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Rice: While the chicken is marinating, prepare the rice according to the package instructions.
- Sauté the Chicken: Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken along with the marinade, sautéing until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized—about 8-10 minutes.
- Simmer the Sauce: Lower the heat and allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Serve with Love: Serve the orange chicken over a bed of fluffy rice, drizzling the remaining sauce on top.
