Ingredients:
1 Large Bell Pepper, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 Purple Onion, chopped
⅓ c Fresh Orange Juice
1 inch Ginger thumb size, fresh, chopped
1 pound Chicken Breast, boneless, skinless, cut into bite-size pieces
1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 tablespoons Olive Oil, divided
¼ teaspoon Chili Flakes
¼ c Low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
1½ tablespoons Cornstarch
1 tablespoon Sliced Scallions or green onions
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
Orange slices to garnish optional
Directions:
Place a large non-stick pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp of oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili flakes. Cook the chicken for a few minutes until they turn golden brown. Transfer the chicken onto a clean plate.
In the same skillet, add the rest of the oil and allow it to become hot.
Add ginger, bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for a few minutes until aromatic and soft.
In a mixing bowl, add cornstarch, orange juice, and soy sauce. Whisk everything until well blended.
Pour the sauce into the pan, then scrape the bottom of it to get the browned bits.
Put the chicken back into the pan, then toss until well coated with the delicious sauce. Remove the pan from the heat.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and scallions on top to garnish.
Lay the lemon slices on top of the dish.
Serve and enjoy!
