Orange Chicken w/ Steamed Broccoli & Cauliflower Rice |
What you need...
Chicken
3-4 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
2 tablespoons tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
the zest of 1 orange
the juice of one orange - I juiced the heck out of it!
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 tsp ginger powder or fresh ginger, chopped
sesame seeds
1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
Place chicken into a shallow dish. Add next 8 ingredients to a jar and shake to combine. Pour sauce over chicken and refrigerate over night. Using tongs, place chicken into the crock-pot and then pour sauce over chicken. Turn crock-pot to high, and cook for 2 hours. Remove lid and cook uncovered for 1 more hour. This will help the sauce to reduce and thicken a little. Serve with broccoli, cauliflower rice and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onion.
Broccoli
2 cups broccoli, washed
1/2 cup water
Add broccoli and water to a microwave safe container. Cover and microwave for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper or red pepper flakes.
Cauliflower Rice
1 head of cauliflower, steamed and mashed into rice
coconut oil
Add 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil to a sauté pan and add cauliflower rice. Sauté on high heat until it begins to brown and is heated through, about 7 minutes. Add salt and pepper or red pepper flakes.
