    The bright flavor of Mandarin oranges combined with the sweet and savory teriyaki sauce makes this citrus ginger chicken a standout recipe for any night of the week!

    Citrus Ginger Chicken Recipe

    I found it in a Southern Living cookbook and then tweaked the heck out of it so it no longer resembles the original in any way, shape, or form except that it still has chicken, citrus, and ginger.

    Seeing as how it's still a bit nippy here in the Midwest, I also brought the cooking process from the chilly outdoor grill to the warmth and coziness of the kitchen to make it into an Asian-inspired stir-fry dinner.  

    I was very pleased with the results, and the flavors combined with the citrus, fresh broccoli, and garlic were simply divine.

     

    CITRUS-GINGER CHICKEN    {PRINT THIS RECIPE}


    1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken cut into 1"-2" pieces
    3 tablespoons peanut oil - divided
    salt and pepper to season
    1 jar low-sugar orange marmalade
    1 lime, zested and juiced
    1 teaspoon garlic, minced
    1 orange, juiced
    1 ½ teaspoons freshly grated ginger
    2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1 can (11 ounces) mandarin orange segments, drained.
    1 teaspoon salt
    ½ teaspoon black pepper
    3-4 cups fresh broccoli florets
    Brown rice

    -Pat the cup up chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
    -Heat a wok or large skillet to medium-high and add half the peanut oil.
    -Brown half the chicken in the wok at a time (stirring occasionally). Remove and keep warm.
    -Continue browning the second batch of chicken the same way. Remove. and keep warm.
    -In a medium bowl, combine the orange marmalade, lime juice and zest, orange juice, garlic, ginger, teriyaki sauce, coriander, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Set aside.
    -Reduce the heat of the wok to medium and add more peanut oil and broccoli. Season with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally.
    -Cook for 2-3 minutes so it's crisp-tender.
    -Add the chicken back into the wok and stir all to combine,
    -Add in the orange marmalade sauce and cook in the wok until the chicken is cooked through (approximately 5 minutes).
    -If you like you can add a little cornstarch to ½ cup of water to thicken the sauce.
    -At the last minute add in the mandarin orange segments and serve over brown rice.

      This looks and sounds wonderful. Love the photo of the sauce! Hope you enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend Renee. It's still a bit nippy up here as well (darn winds) though only snow left in the wooded areas!

      Renee, this looks freaking amazing! I love making stir-fry - it's easy and delicious, the most onerous part is the food prep. These flavours are all fabulous on their own and I can only imagine how yummy they were together in this bright, vibrant dish.
