Healthier Orange Chicken 🐓🍊🔥 I honestly enjoy this more than takeout! Nothing breaded or deep-fried, no artificial ingredients — just an easy, quick delicious meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner and/or meal prep! FULL RECIPE ⬇️ INGREDIENTS (3-4 servings) - ~2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs - Avocado oil - Seasonings: salt, pepper and garlic powder - Avocado oil cooking spray - Cooked jasmine rice Orange Sauce: - 2/3 cup orange juice (I used fresh-squeezed) - 2 tsp freshly grated orange zest - 1/4 cup brown sugar, tightly packed - 2 tbsp honey - 2 tbsp rice vinegar - 3 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce - 1/2 tbsp sriracha - 1/2 tbsp minced ginger - 1 tbsp minced garlic - Salt & pepper, to taste - 1 tbsp cornstarch, fully dissolved in 2–3 tbsp water Toppings: - Sesame seeds - Sliced green onions Note(s): Measurements are estimated; adjust ingredients to your personal preference. DIRECTIONS 1. Prep the orange sauce and set aside. 2. Trim the chicken thighs to your liking, then cut into bite-sized cubes. 3. Add the diced chicken to a large bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix until well combined. 4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with cooking oil. Add the chicken and sear for 10–15 minutes, mixing every few minutes, until crispy and cooked through (largest piece should reach at least 175°F internal). 5. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pan and lower the heat. Pour in the orange sauce and mix for a few minutes until it thickens. Add the chicken back in and toss until well combined. 6. Plate it up & ENJOY! 🙌🏻 • • • • #explore #cooking #food #healthy #fyp — TikTok @calwillcookit
