Orange Chicken

by 38 Comments

Orange Chicken – quick and easy Chinese dish with chicken in a citrus sauce. Perfect served with rice and steamed vegetables.

Citrus and chicken go so well together in this dish, just like in my Firecracker Chicken. I serve it with my perfect Instant Pot Rice.

ORANGE CHICKEN

If you are a fan of quick takeout inspired dinners, like my Sesame Chicken, you will love this Orange Chicken. I skipped the heavy breading and frying the meat to simply saute it in oil and then simmer in a delicious honey orange sauce. It’s easy yet bursting in flavor. A perfect quick meal for busy weekdays! This Orange Chicken is as quick and easy as browning the chicken, mixing the sauce ingredients in one bowl and letting everything simmer together. Serve with rice and steamed vegetables, like broccoli or Asian vegetable mix for a simple yet flavorful meal. You can use this recipe for meal prep and keep portions in the fridge for up to 4 days.

EASY KOREAN BEEF

What I like the most about creating copycat recipes or our restaurant favorites, is how easy they can be. They all have the word “easy” in the name for a reason. This Korean Beef recipe is most definitely one of the easiest you can create in your own kitchen and have dinner ready on the table under 20 minutes. Every bit of the caramelized beef with onion and garlic makes you crave another bite. Serve simply over rice or add steamed vegetables. This recipe is a simplified version of the Korean Beef Bulgogi dish, also knows as the Korean BBQ Beef. We are using ground beef here and we are not marinating the meat since it is ground.

Asian dishes are our favorite. This Mongolian Beef is always a hit, just like the Easy Sesame Chicken and 10-Minute Teriyaki Shrimp.
