Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked brown rice (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, mix together the fresh orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This will be your orange sauce.

    In a separate bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until they are well coated. This will help thicken the sauce and give the chicken a nice texture.

      Heat sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

        Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

          Once the chicken is cooked, add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

            Pour the orange sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

              Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

                Serve the healthy orange chicken over cooked brown rice.
