• Add the onions, chicken broth, rice, 1/4 cup of the orange juice, 2 teaspoons of the orange zest, 1 tablespoon of oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a 2-quart baking dish and stir to combine.
• Toss the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Nestle the chicken into the rice mixture. Cover the dish with foil and transfer it to the oven, being careful not to spill.
• Bake for 55 minutes. Remove the foil and drizzle the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the orange juice. Continue to bake until most of the liquid has been absorbed, the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender, about 50 minutes more.
• Drizzle the chicken with the remaining orange juice. Sprinkle the mint, pine nuts and desired amount of remaining orange zest over the dish and serve.

LOW-CARB ORANGE CHICKEN & RICE

Steps:

• Trim the excess fat off of the chicken thighs, discarding any of the cut pieces. Then cut the thighs into approximately one-inch size pieces. Add the cubed chicken to a medium size bowl and add your egg white, coconut flour, corn starch, salt, and pepper and toss to combine until everything is well incorporated.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to a frying pan or wok on a medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken to your oil and fry it until it is completely cooked through and golden brown. If you are using a small skillet, you may need to work in batches. Once your chicken is done, transfer it from the skillet onto a plate lined with a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
• Make The Orange Sauce: Start by heating another frying pan on a medium-high heat and add your soy sauce and orange juice. Mix that together and let it heat up slightly and then add your ginger powder and your red pepper flakes, then bring to a slight simmer.
• Once your sauce is slightly simmering, add your minced garlic and vinegar, combine thoroughly, and bring your sauce to a boil.
• While you are waiting for your sauce to come up to temperature make a slurry by mixing the corn starch and add one tablespoons of cold water to a small bowl and mix it until well incorporated.
• When your sauce reaches a light boil, add your corn starch slurry and immediately begin mixing your sauce. Your sauce will start to thicken rather quickly at this point. Reduce the heat to a medium-low heat and add your sweetener and orange zest and stir together.
• Once your sauce has gotten to your desired consistency, add the cooked cubed chicken to the sauce. Toss the chicken until it is completely coated in the delicious sauce.
• Put your cooked, warm rice on a plate and place the orange chicken on top. Add diced green onions and sesame seeds on top as a garnish, if desired
