Submitted by Chef #477635

"I came up with this on the fly. It is really good and has more of an orange flavor than fast food restaurants. Pretty healthy for you too :)"

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts
• 2 cups orange juice (with pulp)
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup flour
• butter (for cooking)

directions

1. Begin by mixing the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, salt, and flour together in a separate bowl.
2. Cut the chicken breasts into strips or pieces (can also leave as a breast but the sauce does not penetrate as well).
3. Begin by cooking the breasts on the stovetop with a bit of butter.
4. Once the breasts are cooked to your liking, pour the sauce mixture into the pan (it is good to have a deep-dish frying pan, as there will be alot of sauce).
5. Turn up the heat and stir the sauce with the chicken. The sauce should thicken. If sauce has trouble thickening, you can always add a bit more flour. You can leave the sauce cooking until it reaches your preferred consistency, but usually does have a nice, thick sauce after a few minutes.
6. Take off of the heat and serve with rice and fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
