Ingredients
-
For the Chicken
-
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
-
1 tbs soy sauce
-
1 tbs cornstarch
-
2-3 tbs cannabis-infused oil
-
For the Orange Sauce
-
1 cup orange juice
-
½ cup mirin
-
3 tbs brown sugar
-
¼ cup soy sauce
-
2 tsp peeled and grated ginger
-
1 minced or finely chopped garlic clove
-
1 tbs orange zest
-
3 tsp cornstarch
-
3 tsp water
Directions
- First, make the orange sauce. To do this, heat a small saucepan over medium heat on the stove. Combine the orange juice, mirin, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and the orange zest into the pot. Bring the mix to a boil. Simmer the ingredients on medium-low heat for 6 – 8 minutes.
- While the other ingredients are simmering, whisk together the water and cornstarch in a small bowl.
- After the orange sauce has finished cooking for the 6 – 8 minutes, add the water and cornstarch into the mix. Stir well, and simmer for an additional 3 – 5 minutes, until it becomes a thick sauce consistency.
- Next, add the chicken chunks into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir in the soy sauce, and then the cornstarch, mixing well.
- Heat up a large skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add the canna-oil, and then place the chicken in a single layer over the pan. Cook the chicken until golden on one side, and then flip all of the pieces to cook on the other side. It should take about 6 – 8 minutes total to cook the chicken. Once the chicken is cooked, remove them from the heat and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. It might take a few rounds of chicken batches until all 2 lbs are cooked.
- Once all the chicken is cooked, return the pieces to the oiled skillet, and pour the orange sauce. Stir the chicken to ensure that all chunks are properly coated.
