Hi there, food lover! 👋 Ready to whip up something incredibly simple yet bursting with sweet and savory flavors? Today we’re diving into a Chinese-American takeout favorite—with a twist. This 3 Ingredient Orange Chicken is perfect for busy weeknights, lazy weekends, or any time you crave something tangy and satisfying without all the fuss! 🍊🍗
Ingredients:
- 500g (about 1 lb) boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup orange marmalade (no added alcohol)
- ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
Optional for serving: sesame seeds, chopped green onions, cooked rice
Directions:
- Cook the Chicken:
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken pieces until browned and fully cooked (about 6–8 minutes). No oil needed if your pan is nonstick, but a light drizzle helps with crispiness. - Make the Sauce:
Lower the heat to medium. Add the orange marmalade and soy sauce directly into the skillet. Stir well until the sauce bubbles and thickens (about 3–5 minutes). It should coat the chicken nicely in a glossy glaze. - Serve and Enjoy:
Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired. 🍚🌿
