Gluten Free Orange Chicken

This orange chicken turned out really well! I love cooking Asian dishes because they taste like the real thing but are soooo much healthier for you. The original recipe calls for the chicken to be fried in a pan, however, I baked it.

Ingredients

Chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces 
1/2 Teaspoon of salt
1/2 Teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 Cup of cornstarch, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
1/4 Cup of tamari gluten free soy sauce
1/4 Cup of white vinegar
1/4 Cup of orange juice (I used more)
1/4 Cup of water
1/4 Cup of organic brown sugar, packed
1/2 Teaspoon of  minced garlic
1/4 Teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
Green onions, to garnish

Coconut cooking spray

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

2. Place the cornstarch in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, add the chicken on top and toss until evenly coated
3. Spray a cooking tray with oil and add the chicken

4. Bake until golden about 20 minutes5. Meanwhile, whisk together all the remaining ingredients in a small bowl
6. Once the chicken is cooked through and golden brown remove it from the oven
7. Pour the contents of the small bowl into a hot pan and simmer and stir until thickened
8. Once thickened, add the chicken to the pan, and toss to coat
9. Garnish with some green onions
