Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until just beginning to brown and soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the onions, chicken broth, rice, 1/4 cup of the orange juice, 2 teaspoons of the orange zest, 1 tablespoon of oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a 2-quart baking dish and stir to combine.

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for this dish. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled or canned orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Use a nonstick pan: A nonstick pan is the best choice for cooking orange chicken. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and will make it easier to clean.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown: The chicken should be cooked until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked properly and is safe to eat.
- Serve immediately: Orange chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the chicken is hot and crispy and the sauce is flavorful.
Conclusion:
Orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With its sweet and tangy sauce, crispy chicken, and fluffy rice, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give orange chicken a try!
