Orange Ginger Chicken Recipe
  • Prep: 15 min. Cook: 20 min.
  • Yield: 6 Servings
15 20 35

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1-1/2 pounds), cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Optional garnishes: thinly sliced green onion and sesame seeds

Directions

  • Place flour in a large resealable plastic bag. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add to bag, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil in batches over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, combine the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan; cook and stir until thickened. Return chicken to the pan; heat through. Sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

This recipe is excellent. I doubled the sauce and added a clove of pressed garlic plus a little cornstarch to thicken.

My family and I loved this recipe! I used too used chicken breast instead of thighs. Much better than take out!!!

This is a fabulous dish and really easy to make! When we're craving chinease food...I make this as a healthier alternative!

I feel bad because I am the only one that thinks it is so-so. I added fresh ginger because the powdered didn't come thru very well. I also added steamed snow peas and steamed baby carrots to add some texture. I don't care for orange marmalade so I'm sure that is why I didn't care for it. The marmalade had a bitter twang. I am wondering how this would be with peach jam and orange juice. Less marmalade than 1/2 cup maybe, a 1/4 cup and a bit of corn starch. I will work on this as I do like the premise.

Delicious and easy, but next time I'll search harder for bonesless, skinless chicken thighs. They weren't available so I had to cut the meat off the bone myself. What a job that was!

I used chicken breasts, because the grocery store was out of thighs. Quite delicious! Gotta dump on the sesame seeds for sure.

Fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly. It was fairly easy and way better than Chinese Take out! Tase of Home does it again! Recipe makes 6 servings- I think more like 4- but maybe that was because it was so yummy!!

My family loves orange chicken and I've always just bought breaded chicken and orange sauce instead of making it myself. But this was very easy and better than anything store-bought! Next time I may make extra sauce. I was really grateful to discover boneless skinless chicken thighs, as well. They are cheaper, still very easy to use being boneless and skinless and all, and were more tender and flavorful than breasts.
