"Whether you're looking to change up your weeknight dinner options or just craving some comfort food, orange chicken can be the perfect answer. A sweet and zesty classic, it's one of the tastiest, and simplest, crowd-pleasers you can get your hands on. And although it's a dish that's often associated with takeout joints ( and Trader Joe's), it's actually really easy to recreate at home. All you need are three core ingredients to make a streamlined version that's equal parts delicious, affordable, and fast."
"To whip up your own three-ingredient orange chicken, you'll need some teriyaki sauce, orange marmalade and, of course, chicken. Our recipe developer Michelle McGlinn likes to use frozen popcorn chicken, which is available at most grocery stores, but any frozen, precooked chicken should do. Breaded will taste best, but you can also opt for a plain version if you want to keep things on the healthier side."
Three-ingredient orange chicken requires teriyaki sauce, orange marmalade, and precooked chicken. Frozen popcorn-style breaded chicken yields the best texture, while plain frozen chicken offers a leaner option. Bake the chicken according to package directions. Simmer the marmalade and teriyaki sauce over medium heat for about 15 minutes until the mixture thickens into a spoonable sauce. Toss the baked chicken in the finished sauce and serve with preferred sides. Teriyaki can be swapped for barbecue, heat can be added with sriracha or red chili flakes, and extra flavor can come from soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, or ginger.
