Description
Fresh orange, zesty ginger, bright edamame beans, and a swirl of honey is an easy and delicious way to change up chicken night. This one-pot meal is super simple and uses pretty basic ingredients, most of which you probably already have in your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1-½ pound Chicken Tenderloins
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ Orange, Juiced
- 1 cup Steamed And Shelled Edamame Beans (soybeans) (I Used The Frozen Steam-in-a-bag Kind)
- FOR THE SAUCE:
- ⅔ cups Reduced Sodium Reduced Fat Chicken Broth
- 2 Tablespoons Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
- ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Ginger Powder, Or Fresh If You Have It
- 1 Orange, Zest (use Less Zest For A Subtler Orange Flavor) And Half The Juice
Preparation
In a medium-sized pan over medium to medium low heat, add chicken tenderloins. Sprinkle on garlic powder and orange juice. Cover and cook for 6 minutes. Flip chicken over and continue cooking for another 4–6 minutes or until no longer pink inside.
As chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together broth, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, garlic powder, ginger, orange zest and juice.
Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Pour in sauce and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in edemame beans.
Sauce will thicken a bit as it cools. Serve over white or brown rice.
