Spicy Orange Sesame Chicken Recipe

I love to eat out.. who doesn’t?   When I do it’s either DP’s Pub or our local Chinese place.  I always feel guilty after eating my favorite fried chinese food recipes though.. I’ve always thought the food tastes wonderful, but do I really need to have all the fried stuff?  I rather just have the sauce and steam the veggies and protein.  So now when I do eat out that’s exactly what I get – but sauce on the side.  You’d be surprised how good it is without being fried!  So that got me thinking.. it must be simple to do at home – save the money and I control the ingredients! (organic vegetables and protein)  Less sodium, less oil, and I can control the spice! 🙂

Spicy Orange Sesame Chicken Recipe

My husband goes straight for the fried stuff like General Tso’s and Orange Chicken.  So he of course requested Orange Chicken!  I like things with spice and find that there’s not enough in our local restaurant   I loveeee heat!

Spicy Sesame Orange Sauce

3/4 Cup Orange Juice
1/2 Teaspoon Sesame Oil
1/8 Cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Vinegar
1/8 Teaspoon Dried Ginger ( or 1/4 teaspoon fresh)
4 Cloves Garlic
1/4 Teaspoon Onion Powder
1 Teaspoon Cornstarch
1 Teaspoon of Brown Sugar

(Pinch of Chili Flakes and 1 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seeds)

Spicy Orange Sesame Chicken Recipe

In a blender or small food processor combine all ingridients down to the brown sugar.  In a small pan cook until boiling.  Once boiling add in the chili flakes and sesame seeds.  Pour over chicken and serve with vegetables and starch of choice.

I like to serve mine with quinoa and edamame – broccoli too but we ran out 🙂

    Would I just leave out the chili flakes for no heat? I like making my own recipes too.

    My daughter loves Orange Chicken but not overly spicy, so I think I’ll try this one without the chili flakes.
