So, I was making my daughter's birthday cake (nope, not primal!)...the other night, and had skipped dinner, because I was out shopping for last minute necessities to make her koala-themed birthday all she dreamed of... Thankfully, I have a husband who is so willing to help make our crazy world go 'round! While he was hanging streamers and blowing up balloons, I tried this new concoction. The results were terrific! Sooo good; I think the kids will eat it, too, next time :)
Primal Orange Chicken
Ingredients:
* 4, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite size pieces)
* 5-6 Tbsp fat (coconut oil works really well!)
* juice of 2 oranges
* 2 tsp fresh ginger
* 6 Tbsp wheat-free/gluten-free soy sauce
* 2 tsp chili garlic sauce
* 2 tsp raw honey
* 6 green onions, chopped
In a medium size sauce pot, add the orange juice, ginger, soy sauce, honey, and chili garlic sauce.
Set over medium heat and let simmer to reduce and thicken while the chicken cooks.
In a saute pan, heat the fat of your choice, over medium high heat. Add the chopped chicken and cook until a nice brown crust has developed on the chicken pieces, about 6 minutes.
Add the chicken to the sauce pot and stir to coat with the orange sauce.
Serve topped with sliced green onions. Taste your oranges. If they don’t taste orangey, then neither will this...
Benefits, vs marketed orange chix: no MSG or partially hydrogenated-anything, no high fructose corn syrup, verrrry little sugar, quality chicken, no preservatives, and gluten free!
