Ingredients

  • ½ cup orange juice

  • ¼ cup light soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons buckwheat honey

  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh garlic

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 pinch Italian seasoning

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed

  • 2 nectarines, sliced

Directions

  1. Mix orange juice, soy sauce, honey, hot sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic together in a small bowl to make the sauce.

  2. Season flour lightly with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch strips. Dredge chicken pieces in the seasoned flour; sprinkle more salt and pepper on top.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken strips and brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Pour in the orange sauce. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes.

  4. Plate the chicken and top with nectarine slices.

Cook's Note:

Feel free to substitute 2 tablespoons ground ginger for the fresh ginger.
