Description

This is a great summer recipe. I like to used cut peaches or nectarines over top of the chicken and rice.

Ingredients
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons buckwheat honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh garlic
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch Italian seasoning
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
  • 2 nectarines, sliced
Directions
  1. 1. Mix orange juice, soy sauce, honey, hot sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic together in a small bowl to make the sauce.
  2. 2. Season flour lightly with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch strips. Dredge chicken pieces in the seasoned flour; sprinkle more salt and pepper on top.
  3. 3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken strips and brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Pour in the orange sauce. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. 4. Plate the chicken and top with nectarine slices.
