1/2 c orange juice
1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 c low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 c white vinegar
1/2 c granulated sugar
3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 tsp white pepper
ground himalayan sea salt, to taste
1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 large clove garlic, pressed
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
8 oz (218 ml) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 medium red pepper, cut into 2-inch strips
1 1/4 c fresh mandarin oranges, segmented and pith removed
2 large green onions (green parts only), sliced
1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Steps:

  • 1. In a measuring cup, mix orange juice with cornstarch; set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine broth, vinegar, sugar and soy sauce; whisk to combine and set aside.
  • 2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add canola and sesame oil. When hot, add chicken and season with white pepper and sea salt; sauté for 3 minutes or until no longer pink. Add ginger and garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add hoisin sauce, stir well before adding chestnuts and red peppers; cook for 2 minutes.
  • 3. Stir in the broth mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in orange juice/cornstarch mixture until the sauce thickens. Add mandarin orange segments and gently incorporate into the mixture. Cook enough to warm up the orange segments; serve over a bed of white rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
