SPICY ORANGE CHICKEN STIR-FRY



Spicy Orange Chicken Stir-Fry image

This sweet and hot Chinese dinner tastes as if it came straight out of the wok, but it's fresh from the freezer.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup cornstarch
2 cups orange juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup honey
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 to 2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips
1 head broccoli, cut into florets, stalks peeled and thinly sliced
1 pound carrots (about 5), peeled and thinly sliced on the diagonal
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Place cornstarch in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in orange juice until smooth. Whisk in soy sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, and red-pepper flakes; season with salt. Set mixture aside.
  • In a 5-quart nonstick Dutch oven or pot, heat oil over medium-high. Working in batches, cook chicken on one side until slightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes; transfer to a plate, and set aside (chicken will cook more later).
  • Add broccoli, carrots, and 1/2 cup water to pot. Cook, partially covered, until water has evaporated and broccoli is bright green, 3 minutes. Add reserved chicken and cornstarch mixture; bring to a boil. Cook until chicken is opaque throughout and sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve stir-fry over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: Use navel oranges for a sweeter flavor and fewer seeds. If you only have access to regular oranges, remove the seeds before juicing.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming dry.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: A good quality olive oil will add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have olive oil, you can use another type of high-heat cooking oil, such as canola oil or avocado oil.
  • Season the chicken well: Make sure to season the chicken well with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked through before serving. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

This Spiced Chicken with Oranges recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the orange sauce is tangy and sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
