How to Make Almond Orange Chicken
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the marinade into a small bowl and set aside.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the remaining marinade in the bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (longer is better!).
- Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade.
- Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet, leaving the drippings behind.
- Add the reserved 1/4 cup marinade mixture and 1/2 cup chicken broth to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in 1/4 cup orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Spoon the sauce generously over the chicken.
- Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup slivered almonds. Serve immediately with rice.
