Honey Orange Glazed Chicken Recipe

I made this Honey Orange Glazed Chicken for my daughter yesterday. She has been fighting a bad cold, and it has been hard to get her to eat, so I wanted a recipe that not only featured some of her favorite flavors, but had some ingredients that were at least rumored to help her get over this nasty cold (She won’t eat soup of any kind). Orange juice, honey, garlic, ginger and onion all fit the bill, so in they went with the chicken tenders.

I served the glazed chicken with simple boiled Ramen noodles, just tossed in a drizzle of sesame oil. Typically, I would have this over Jasmine rice, but my little none loves her noodles… rice not so much.

….and the verdict.

She ate it all up!

Honey Orange Glazed Chicken Recipe Preparation

Onions & garlic are lightly sauteed in pan, then cornstarch dredged chicken tenders are added to pan.

They are cooked until the onions start to caramelize and the outside of chicken is cooked with slight golden color. Honey Orange Glaze sauce is prepared during this phase.

Pour the sauce in and cook on medium until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
