Instructions

1

In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper.

2

Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade.

4

Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

5

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer.

6

Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

7

Return the chicken to the skillet and coat each piece with the orange juice glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through.

8

Serve the orange juice glazed chicken over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
