Orange Chicken

Sometimes I have this urge to cook something so fresh even if the weather is so cold, and since as usual I don’t have enough time to cook I had to come up with really quick fix meal that require 15 min to cook. It was pretty good , it just needs to marinate overnight.

Ingredients:

Orange Chicken - My Little Healthy Twist

 2 halves chicken breast

1 Orange

1 Red Pepper sliced

1 Yellow Pepper sliced

1 Green Pepper sliced

2 Cups white button mushroom sliced

¼ cup fresh Coriander roughly chopped

1/4 Teaspoon salt 

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

Season the chicken breast with salt/pepper and orange juice (use the juice for the marination and the zest for garnish) for overnight.

Heat your electric grill or grill pan on medium high and grill the chicken for 10 mins or until cooked through.

Heat a non-stick pan to medium add the oil and then mushroom and don’t let it cook without stirring until the mushroom is caramelized on one side then stir and allow to caramelize, this way you will not have to add extra oil to the pan. When the mushroom half cooked add peppers and cook until soft enough, season with salt, pepper  and half of the orange zest and serve hot and garnish with Coriander and half of the orange zest.
