– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
– 1 cup orange marmalade
– ¼ cup soy sauce
Follow these straightforward steps to create your 3 Ingredient Orange Chicken:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Dice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. This allows for even cooking and better flavor absorption.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or pan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
3. Make the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, combine the orange marmalade and soy sauce in a bowl. Stir the mixture until it’s well blended.
4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the orange marmalade and soy sauce mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to combine thoroughly, ensuring all pieces are coated.
5. Simmer the Mixture: Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken and sauce simmer for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly while the flavors meld together beautifully.
6. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve while hot, for the best taste.
These steps create a dish that is both incredible and full of flavor, serving as a testament to the wonders of simplicity in cooking.
