How to Make Pacific Island Garlic Orange Chicken
- In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, whisk together 1/4 cup Yoshida's Gourmet Sauce, 1/2 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon orange zest to make the marinade.
- Pour 1/2 of the marinade into a bowl and set aside the other half.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces) to the bowl and marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, cook your jasmine rice according to package directions.
- Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Discard used marinade.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil until shimmering.
- Add 4 cloves garlic (minced) and cook for 20 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 1/2 medium onion (sliced), 1/2 bell pepper (sliced), and 1/2 cup shredded carrots and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until almost tender.
- Add the marinated chicken to the wok and continue stir-frying until the chicken is about half-cooked (about 5 minutes).
- Add the reserved marinade and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink (about 3-5 more minutes).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cold water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
- Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the wok, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens (about 1 minute). Remove from heat.
- Serve the chicken mixture over a bed of jasmine rice on plates.
- Garnish with 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments, 1/4 cup chopped cashews, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro.
- Enjoy your delicious Pacific Island Garlic Orange Chicken!
