How to Make Orange Chicken Stir Fry Oamc

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup orange juice until smooth.
  2. Add 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, and 2 minced garlic cloves to the cornstarch mixture. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large 5-quart Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces) to the pot and cook in batches until lightly browned on all sides. Set aside.
  5. Add 1 head broccoli (cut into florets) and 1 cup carrots (sliced) to the pot. Add 1/2 cup water, cover partially, and cook until the water evaporates and the vegetables are tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Pour the orange sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through (about 3-5 minutes).
  7. Optional: Stir in 1/2 cup fresh orange segments and 1 teaspoon orange zest for extra citrus flavor.
  8. Cool completely before transferring to airtight freezer containers or bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  9. To reheat: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Heat in a saucepan over medium heat, adding 1/2 cup water per serving, until heated through.
