Spicy Orange Chicken

3/4 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed

zest from 1/2 an orange

1 tbs low-sodium soy sauce

2 cloves garlic

2 tsp grated fresh ginger

2 tsp red pepper flakes

2 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp sesame oil

1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 carrots, thinly sliced

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

2 sliced green onions

red pepper flakes, to taste

In a medium bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, stirring occasionally so that all sides get browned. Once chicken has browned, add carrots and cook, stirring, until carrots are softened, about 5 min.

Pour in sauce and cook until sauce is thickened, 3 to 5 more min.

Spoon into bowls with rice or quinoa and sprinkle with green onions and red pepper flakes.  Serves 2
