Paleo Chinese Orange Chicken

This recipe was a huge hit in my family. My boys gobbled it up, my 3 year old had 3 servings and my 2 year old ate a full plate. Hubby gobbled it up happily and sang songs of praise. I think this is the perfect solution for those craving some Chinese takeout.



Paleo Chinese Orange Chicken

Sauce
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup orange juice
1/3 cup cider vinegar
3 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp orange zest
1 tbsp honey
2-3 tsp fresh ginger, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp dried minced onion (can also sub some green onion here)
pinch of red pepper flakes (add more if you like some heat)
1.5 tbsp arrowroot powder

coconut oil
1-1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into cubes
1/4 tsp sea salt
3 tbsp arrowroot

Mix together sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Toss chicken with sea salt and arrowroot. Heat coconut oil in large skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add chicken. Stir regularly until cooked throughout. Add sauce and stir frequently. Cook about 10 minutes, or until it thickens. Serve and enjoy!

    ohhh! I have a boatload of chicken and was looking for new ideas :) I don't have coconut aminos--do you think Bragg's would be the same??? (it's soy sauce like)

    Hey Cait, I failed to mention that the last time I made this I added some thinly sliced carrots cut on the diagnol and it was a nice crunch/color additon.
    Now that I read your Chix Faux Main recipe, I might try this over thinly sliced sauteed cabbage too!

    The meaning of this is that you literally burn fat by consuming Coconut Fats (including coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).
