3 chicken breasts, boneless/skinless

1 broccoli head, florets separated
2 medium carrots, sliced on the digonal
4 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c pure pineapple juice
1/2 c *orange juice, fresh or *crystals
1 c honey
1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
1 c teriyaki sauce
1/2 c mirin
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
2 Tbsp szechuan spicy stir-fry sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp grapeseed oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt, more if needed
1 tsp cracked pepper
1/3 c cornstarch
4 Tbsp butter
1/4 c *grapefruit juice, fresh or *crystals
1 1/2 c water, as needed to dilute

Steps:

  • 1. Make sauce: In a large bowl, add: pineapple juice, *grapefruit juice, *orange juice, teriyaki sauce, mirin, oyster sauce, sesame oil, Szechuan sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, *and water, if needed. Whisk thoroughly. Add cornstarch and whisk thoroughly. Set aside.
  • 2. Cut the broccoli florets into bite-size pieces. Medium dice the onion Slice the carrots thinly, and on the diagonal.
  • 3. Heat a large skillet on medium-high. Add enough butter and oil to stir-fry the vegetables Stir-fry broccoli, onions, and carrots til tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
  • 4. Cube chicken breasts, and salt and pepper them. In same skillet, add enough oil to stir-fry the chicken. Add chicken; when almost done, add vegetables back to skillet.
  • 5. Pour sauce into skillet and stir to combine with the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring, for a few minutes, to thicken the sauce.
  • 6. Serve immediately over rice, quinoa, or noodles. Top with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
  • 7. *I sometimes use True Lemon crystals when I'm out of fresh lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit juice. If you use these crystals, you DEFINITELY need to dilute with 1 1/2 cups of water; and, even if you use fresh juice, you can dilute some, according to your taste.
