Orange Ground Chicken

Tonights dinner was definitely a keeper!

We added shredded carrots and broccoli into the chicken and paired it with some quinoa and kale! The kids loved it and we will be adding this one to our weekly rotation for sure! 

Heres the recipe:

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup brown rice + 2 cups water (cook according to your preference)
• 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 pound ground chicken or turkey
• 2 Tablespoons freshly grated or minced ginger
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tablespoon asian spice sauce or red pepper flakes (try chili-garlic sauce, sriracha, or just red pepper flakes!)
• ½ cup orange juice (I juiced 8 clementines/mikans/tangerines)
• 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 small heads fresh broccoli - about 6-7 cups florets & some stems
• sesame seeds for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook brown rice according to your preference, I use a Unlce Bens Brown rice and its super yummy.
2. In a large nonstick pan, warm sesame oil over low-medium heat. Add chicken and brown on all sides. (Doesn't have to be fully cooked yet.)
3. Add the ginger, garlic, spice sauce, orange juice, and soy sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until sauce has reduced and thickened. Stir well and remove from heat.
4. Meanwhile, fill a pot with 1 inch of water. Add steamer basket and add chopped broccoli florets & stems. Cover and steam for 4 minutes.
5. Make the bowls by either dividing the brown rice among four bowls and topping with chicken and broccoli, or by mixing it all together in the nonstick pan. Top with sesame seeds and enjoy!
