LORI'S LOW CALORIE ORANGE CHICKEN



Lori's Low Calorie Orange Chicken image

This is my low calorie version of certain fast food chains Orange Chicken. Most of the ingredients are "to taste", but this will give you the basic idea.

Provided by Chef Lori L.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 4h20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup orange juice concentrate
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 -3 minced fresh garlic cloves
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon chili flakes
3 -4 chicken pieces (I prefer breast meat)
1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
1/2 tablespoon orange zest (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and chili flakes in a bowl.
  • Add chicken pieces (either cut or whole).
  • Marinate 4-6 hours minimum (you get more orange flavor the longer it marinates).
  • *For whole chicken pieces, it can be grilled on a BBQ or in a skillet.
  • *For cut chicken pieces, it works great as a stir-fry over rice. (NOTE: for cut/smaller pieces of chicken, marinate for for closer to 2-3 hours).
  • Sprinkle chicken with sesame seeds and orange zest, serve and enjoy.
