Gluten Free Orange Chicken is your favorite takeout for your home kitchen. Gluten free and fabulous!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken Cut into bite-sized pieces (I used chicken tenderloins)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 cup Cornstarch Plus 1 tablespoon, divided
- 1/4 cup Oil Approximately
- 1/4 cup Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup White Vinegar
- 1/4 cup Orange Juice
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Packed
- 1/2 teaspoon Minced Garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 tablespoon Orange Zest
- Green Onions To garnish, optional
Instructions
- Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the cornstarch in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, add the chicken on top and toss until evenly coated.
- Add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the hot skillet and then add the chicken. Cook stirring occasionally until all the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Meanwhile whisk together all the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and golden brown remove it from the skillet.
- Pour the contents of the small bowl into the hot skillet and simmer and stir until thickened.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, add the chicken back in, and toss to coat.
- Garnish with some green onions if you want, and enjoy. You can serve it with steamed rice if desired.
