Ingredients

  • 1 pound Chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup flour all purpose
  • 3 tablespoons tamari sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Dredge the chicken pieces into the flour making sure the entire piece of chicken is coated and set it aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the tamari sauce, honey, orange juice, crushed garlic, ginger and sesame oil together and set it aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium to high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces. Let them sit in the pan without moving them for about 4 to 5 minutes. At this point, they should be turning golden brown. Flip the pieces of chicken over and cook them on the other side until they begin to turn golden.
  • Turn the heat down to low - medium heat and stir in the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the chicken in the sauce for 5 to 8 minutes until it begins to thicken. Adjust thickness if necessary by adding a little bit of flour.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.  Reheat on top of the stove over low heat.
Served with steamed or stir-fried veggies.
