Spicy Orange Chicken
This spicy stir fry has a punch of orange flavor but is free of added sugar! Many Asian-style sauces have lots of added sugar, and that's what makes them sticky (and not so healthy).
Ingredients
- 1lb boneless skinless chicken breast (cubed)
- juice of 1 orange (about 1/2 cup)
- zest of 1 orange (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup low sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce, such as sambal oelek
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/2 Medium onion (diced)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 cups bell pepper (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons oil, such as canola, peanut, or grapeseed (divided)
