Your fave take-out meal just got better: now you can make it at home with simple ingredients. It’s got big flavour with that perfect sweet ‘n sour kick and a hint of ginger and chili (it’s not spicy—this is 100% kid-approved)! It’s got half the sugar and sodium of take-out, and it’s the ultimate stir-fry dinner for those busy nights. Leftovers? It reheats like a champ for tomorrow’s lunch. Get wok-ing!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1⁄4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 pkg Sticky Orange Chicken Seasoning, divided
  • 1⁄2 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 tsp Red Pepper Jelly, optional

Preparation

  1. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces; place in a bowl. Add cornstarch and 1 tbsp seasoning; toss to coat and set aside.
  2. In another bowl, combine remaining seasoning, orange juice, soy sauce, and water.
  3. Heat oil in Wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken; stir-fry until cooked, about 5 min.
  4. Reduce heat to medium; stir in reserved seasoning mixture. Simmer 2 min, or until sauce has thickened. If desired, stir in red pepper jelly.
