Chrissy Teigen's One-Pan Orange Chicken
Cravings by Chrissy Teigen

Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 medium oranges
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 teaspoon cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small fresh red chili, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Parsley, for garnish
Directions
- Zest one of the oranges and reserve the zest. Halve both oranges. Juice three of the halves to yield about 1/2 cup juice (feel free to drink any extra), then slice the other half into four rounds and reserve.
- Combine the 1/2 cup orange juice with reserved orange zest, broth, maple syrup, cornstarch, fish sauce, rice vinegar, and chili flakes, then reserve.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Brown the chicken until golden (but not cooked through), 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and cook, stirring until tender and translucent, 8 to 9 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 1 more minute.
- Set an oven rack 6 to 8 inches from the heating element and preheat the broiler to high broil. Add the reserved orange juice mixture to the onions and garlic, raise the heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, let boil and thicken for 1 to 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium, return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over the chicken, and arrange an orange slice over each piece.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and broil until the oranges begin to soften and blacken slightly around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with chilies and parsley. Serve with steamed white or brown rice.
