Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnishing
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the marmalade, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well using a fork or whisk. Set aside.
- Add the oil to a pan over medium heat. Brown the ground chicken and cook until no longer pink. Drain chicken after cooking.
- Add in the orange mixture and continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- When done, serve chicken over a bed of white rice. Top with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Notes
- Drain the browned chicken well so the sauce stays thick and clings to the meat.
- Use marmalade to skip zesting and juicing, and to thicken the sauce naturally.
- Add a splash of vinegar if the sauce comes out too sweet.
- Add ginger and red pepper flakes for a spicier, more takeout style version.
- Serve over rice, in lettuce wraps, or in bowls, since it's endlessly flexible.
