1 cup coconut
1 (16 ounce) bag miniature marshmallows

  • Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to cook the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: If you try to cook all of the chicken at once, it will not cook evenly. Cook it in batches of 3 or 4 pieces at a time, and then remove it from the pan before adding the next batch.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: When you are cooking the chicken or vegetables, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a cornstarch slurry: A cornstarch slurry is a mixture of cornstarch and water that is used to thicken sauces. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. The sauce will thicken as it simmers.
  • Serve immediately: Orange chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you wait too long to serve it, the chicken will become dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With its sweet and tangy sauce, crispy chicken, and fresh vegetables, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give orange chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
