Red Pepper Orange Chicken

Ingredients

• 3.5 oz thinly sliced chicken breast

• 1 orange, peeled and sectioned

• ¼ cup chicken broth (adjust as needed)

• Ground red pepper (to taste)

• Salt (to taste)

• Italian seasoning (to taste)

Preparation

1. Take 3 or 4 orange sections and carefully remove the outer membrane. Chop the peeled sections into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with red pepper flakes to taste, then set aside.

2. Arrange the remaining orange sections on your serving plate.

3. Season the chicken evenly on both sides with salt, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning.

4. In a skillet, heat a small amount of chicken broth over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, turning once, until cooked through. If needed, cook an additional 1–2 minutes to finish.

5. Transfer the chicken to the plate.

6. Add the chopped orange pieces to the skillet to warm through. If the sauce is too thin, sprinkle in a very small amount of xanthan gum and stir constantly until it thickens slightly.

7. Spoon the warmed orange sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
