Easy Orange Chicken

• 1 whole Broccoli Crown, Cut Into Florets
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 2 whole Chicken Breasts, Boneless And Skinless
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Coat
• 2 whole Green Onions, Thinly Sliced
• 1- 1/2 cup Water Plus 2 Tablespoons Divided
• 2 Tablespoons Orange Juice
• 1/4 cups Fresh Lemon Juice
• 13 cups Rice Vinegar
• 2- 1/2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 Tablespoon Grated Orange Zest
• 3/4 cups Brown Sugar, Packed
• 1/2 teaspoons Grated Fresh Ginger
• 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
• 1/4 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
• 1/2 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
• 3 Tablespoons Cornstarch

1. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine all the ingredients for the sauce except for the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water.
2. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
3. Once the sauce has started boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, while chicken and broccoli are being prepared.
4. Steam (or boil, if you prefer) broccoli florets until almost no longer crisp, approximately 5-8 minutes.
5. Test with a fork: if the fork easily pierces the florets, they are done.
6. Be careful not to overcook them, as the broccoli will fall apart when mixed with the sauce and chicken.
7. Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
8. Generously sprinkle kosher salt and pepper over both sides of the chicken breasts.
9. Lay chicken in the pan and cook until browned on each side and cooked through, approximately 8-12 minutes.
10. Once cooked through, allow to cool enough to handle, approximately 5 minutes.
11. Slice into bite-size pieces and set aside.
12. Turn the heat on the sauce to medium.
13. In a small mixing bowl, mix the reserved cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water in order to combine and avoid lumps.
14. Add the cornstarch mixture to the rest of the sauce and stir to combine.
15. You will notice the sauce begin to thicken quickly.
16. Stir for a minute or two until well thickened.
17. Remove from heat.
18. In a large bowl, gently toss together the broccoli, chicken and sauce.
19. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired.
20. Serve with (or over) white rice (I useand lovejasmine rice).
21. Enjoy!
