Cook until browned on both sides.

Remove chicken from pan. If you have about a tablespoon of oil in the pan go ahead and use it without wiping your pan clean. If not, add a tablespoon of oil, minced garlic and green onions and let cook for about 1 minute, but don't let your garlic burn.

Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Add the chicken back into the pan with the sauce.

Top with the orange zest and orange strips and mix until all coated, letting it cook for another 20-30 seconds for the chicken to heat back up.

Serve with Perfect Brown Rice, Every Time and some Roasted Garlic and Ginger Carrots.
