A Light Home Made Honey Orange Chicken Recipe

 

This is an extremely delicious and low calorie honey orange chicken recipe. The sweet and tangy taste of orange paired with the subtle saltiness of the entire dish is really appetising and soothing.

Ingredients

Chicken breast boneless-1

Honey-1 teaspoon

Orange juice non-sweetened-1/2 cup

Orange zest-1 teaspoon (Take the skin of an orange and scrape off the white portion. The skin then forms the zest.)

Garlic-2 cloves crushed

Chilli flakes-1/4 teaspoon

Salt to taste

Cooking oil-1 teaspoon

Butter-1 teaspoon

Spring Onions (chopped up along with leaves)-2

Method

In a pan, heat the cooking oil and butter together.

Add the chicken breast after sprinkling some salt on it.

Roast well on both sides till the chicken breast becomes light brown. 

Meanwhile, in a bowl mix together the honey, orange juice, orange zest, garlic, chilli flakes and rest of the salt. 

Add this mixture to the chicken breast and let it cook till the chicken becomes nice and soft and the sauce thickens.

Turn off the flame and then add the spring onions. 

Your Honey Orange Chicken is ready.

This dish really goes well with Sauté vegetables and roasted baby potatoes.
