Ingredients
Orange Chicken
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 1/2 cups sugar snap peas
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
Orange Sauce
- Zest of an orange
- 3/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free

- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- In a small or bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together all of the ingredients for the orange sauce.
