  • Cooked rice, to serve (about 2 to 3 cups)
Instructions
  1. Whisk orange juice, soy sauce and cornstarch in small bowl until the starch dissolves.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper and then dredge lightly in flour.
  3. Heat oil over medium-high heat and cook chicken, turning once, 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
