Orange Sesame Chicken

Ingredients 

Orange Sesame Chicken 

• 3 lbs boneless chicken breasts 
• 2 egg whites 
• 2 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari) 
• 2 tablespoon orange zest
• 2/3 cup cornstarch 
• 2/3 cup sesame oil 
• 2 tsp ground nutmeg 
• Kosher salt and black ground pepper 

Instructions 

1. In a small bowl, combine the chicken, egg whites, soy sauce, orange zest, nutmeg, 1 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Using tongs or your hands, mix chicken in with other ingredients thoroughly. 
2. In a separate bowl, add the cornstarch. Take each cube of chicken and dredge through the cornstarch. Coat each cube evenly and thoroughly. 
3. In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, orange juice, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and honey.
4. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat (I use a wok). Add the chicken to the pan or wok. Work in batches with a couple of handfuls of cubes at a time (if you cook too many at once it will steam your chicken, not good!) Cook until golden brown (5-6 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate to the side. 
5. Once all of your chicken is cooked and removed from the pan, add the garlic to the skillet (or wok). Add 1 Tb of sesame oil if needed. Cook garlic 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
   Pour in the orange sauce. Bring to a boil, (5-6 minutes) then add the chicken. Toss in chicken with the sauce and cook until the sauce thickens around the chicken (about 5 minutes). If your sauce has too much liquid around the chicken , continue to cook on high heat until reduced.
6. Serve the chicken and sauce over white rice. Sprinkle more sesame seeds for garnish.
