6-Ingredient Orange Chicken

Directions

1. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Combine chicken, salt, and cornstarch in a medium bowl and set aside while you prepare other ingredients.
2. Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Zest and juice the orange, and combine in a small bowl. Thinly slice green onions on a diagonal and set aside for serving.
3. Heat a dry, large, heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil, swirling to coat bottom. Add chicken and spread pieces to a single layer. Cook until well-browned on underside, 2-3 minutes. Turn pieces over and cook until browned on second side, 2-3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a bowl.
4. Reduce heat to medium and add vinegar-sugar mixture to pan. Bring to a boil, stirring; then cook until thickened slightly, about 30 seconds. Add zest and juice and return chicken to pan; cook, stirring, until sauce thickens and coats chicken.
5. Sprinkle chicken with reserved green onions and serve immediately.
