To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the chicken:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

For the sauce:

- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
To make the Orange Chicken, start by preparing the chicken. In a large bowl, mix together the cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, then coat in the cornstarch mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the orange juice, chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is evenly distributed.
The Orange Chicken is now ready to serve. This dish is best served over a bed of rice, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. The appearance of this dish is vibrant and colorful, with the orange sauce coating the crispy chicken pieces. The taste is sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy, making it a perfect balance of flavors.
