Instructions

1

Cook the Chicken

Season the chicken pieces with salt. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

2

Make the Orange Sauce

While the chicken cooks, whisk together the orange marmalade and soy sauce in a small bowl until well combined. Once the chicken is cooked, reduce heat to medium and pour the sauce over the chicken.

3

Glaze and Serve

Stir the chicken to coat it completely in the orange sauce. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, coating every piece of chicken. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
