Low FODMAP Orange Sesame Chicken
Ingredients
Protein
- 2 lbs chicken breast cubed (or tofu if making vegan version)
- 4 tablespoon tapioca starch
Sauce
- Juice of 3 oranges
- Zest of 1 orange
- ½ cup toasted sesame oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon garlic oil
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1-2 tablespoon tapioca starch
Garnish (Optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Orange slices
- Scallions
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Slice chicken breast (or tofu if using) into cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Pre-heat oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add desired amount of broccoli and roast until tops are slightly browned. Begin to cook your rice here.
- Add 4 tablespoon tapioca starch and toss until all cubes are lightly coated.
- If you’re pre-frying the chicken, add to a hot skillet, greased with coconut oil or neutral oil of choice and pan fry until fully cooked and crispy. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate so excess oil can drip off before tossing in sauce.
- In a separate bowl, mix all sauce ingredients except for the tapioca starch.
- Slowly add tapioca starch until desired level of thickness is reached.
- Toss precooked chicken or tofu in the sauce.
- Add all ingredients to a bowl + garnish with sesame seeds, orange slices, scallions and more red pepper flakes if desired.
Notes
If you are not pre-frying your chicken/tofu, simply toss all sauce ingredients in the same bowl as the cubed protein and mix to coat. You can then add the entire contents to your pan and cook the protein in the sauce.
