Directions:
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper; add chicken to skillet and cook until golden, flipping once, about 2 minutes per side.
Drain oranges and reserve 1/4 cup liquid. Add oranges with reserved liquid to skillet and simmer 2 minutes. Whisk together broth, soy sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl; add mixture to pan and simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Yields 1 piece of chicken and about 1/4 cup of sauce per serving.
Chef Tips
We renovated Orange Chinese Chicken by:
Using a strong-flavored oil so that we could get intense flavor with a smaller amount.
Thickening the sauce with cornstarch instead of a more caloric butter-flour mixture.
Opting for low-sodium soy sauce, instead of regular, to improve the dish's nutritional profile.
