Orange Chicken

So sorry for the lack of posts lately, other things have taken the spotlight and I've put this blog on the back burner. But not to worry, I am going to make a conscious effort to make this blog a top priority, so enjoy this awesome recipe post.

I love ordering Chinese food but it's also so unhealthy I feel horrible immediately after eating it. I decided to try to make a healthy version at home and this came out great. For the orange sauce, I used this recipe, but I didn't want to fry the chicken so I used this recipe for the chicken. 

Ingredients: soy sauce, orange juice, rice vinegar, panko, olive oil spray, green onions, corn starch, oranges, ginger, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, chicken, and brown rice.

For the sauce combine a little soy sauce, rice vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, ginger, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Hint: instead of grating the ginger, I just threw a chunk of ginger in the pot and took it out when the sauce was done cooking.

Cube the chicken, then dip in the following order: corn starch, egg, and lastly panko.

Place the breaded chicken on a cooking sheet, spray with cooking spray and put in the oven. 

While the chicken and sauce are cooking, make the brown rice according to the package directions. I threw a green onion in the mix for some flavor.

After the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, mix the 2 together along with chopped green onions in a large bowl.

Put some brown rice in a bowl, then pour the orange chicken on top.

Also, this is my last post using my crappy iPhone camera, the next post will include pictures taken from my new fancy camera I got for my birthday.
