Recipe - Chef Bren Herrera's Bright Orange Ginger Chicken - Hallmark Channel

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake while tamari is gluten-free.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds a unique flavor, while canola is often less expensive.

cornstarch

🥗Healthier: arrowroot powder

💰Cheaper: flour

Arrowroot is a gluten-free thickener, while flour is a more common alternative.

fresh ginger

🥗Healthier: ground ginger

💰Cheaper: ginger paste

Ground ginger is convenient and has a longer shelf life.

Marinate chicken in soy sauce, orange juice, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and stir-fry until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove chicken and set aside, keeping the juices in the skillet.

Add bell pepper, carrots, and broccoli to the skillet; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

Return the chicken to the skillet and add cornstarch mixed with a little water to thicken the sauce.

Stir in sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and black pepper; cook for another 2 minutes.

Add orange zest and mix well to combine all flavors.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
