Ingredients

• Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (8)
• Clementine oranges (2)
• San-J Orange Sauce (4 Tbsp)
• Broccoli (2 cups chopped)

Makes 4 Servings

Directions

1. Place 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs and 4 tablespoons of San-J Orange Sauce into a gallon zip-lock bag. Seal bag and refrigerate for 30min-2 hours to marinate chicken.
2. Peel 2 clementine oranges and set aside.
3. Boil 2 cups of water and steam broccoli for 5 min.
4. Add chicken thighs, marinade from zip lock bag, and slices from one clementine to a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook chicken 2-3 min per side or until completely cooked. Stir frequently to cook orange slices and ensure the marinade does not burn.

6. Drizzle remaining marinade over orange chicken before eating.
