Ingredients
Chicken:
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 2-inch cubes
- ½ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil or butter
Sauce:
- 1 ½ cups water
- ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- ⅓ cup rice vinegar
- 2 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon finely minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons green onion
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350. In a shallow dish combine the flour, garlic powder and pepper. Dip each piece of chicken in flour mixture and coat evenly.
- Pour oil (or melt butter and pour) in a shallow baking dish, large enough to accommodate chicken in a single layer. Arrange chicken in pan and bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine water, fresh orange juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, orange zest and whisk over medium heat for a few minutes. Then stir in brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and green onion and let it come to a boil. Combine cornstarch with water and let it dissolve and add it to the sauce until thickened.
- After chicken has baked the 30 minutes, turn each piece over and pour 1/2 sauce mixture evenly over chicken. Bake another 30 to 40 minutes basting frequently.
- Serve chicken over rice with extra sauce on the side
