Instructions

1. Step 1: Cut 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch strips. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup orange juice, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger until combined.

7. Step 7: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
