Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat add coconut oil.
- Once the oil is hot add in the chicken and cook until lightly browned and fully cooked - about 8 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and place the pan back on the heat.
- Add in orange juice, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, orange zest, fish sauce, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a slight boil.
- In a small bowl mix together cornstarch and cold water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Add cornstarch to the orange mixture and mix together until slightly thickened. This will not take too long so keep an eye on the mixture.
- Once you have reached your desired thickness remove from the heat, stir in your sesame seeds and add the chicken back to the pan and toss with the sauce.
- Serve with brown rice and vegetables if desired.
