Ingredients
Method
Marinating the Chicken
- In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, ginger powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the marinade, ensuring the pieces are well-coated.
- Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to a few hours if you're planning ahead).
Cooking the Chicken
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil.
- Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and sauté the chicken pieces until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Creating the Sauce
- Once the chicken is cooked, pour the remaining marinade into the skillet, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
- Let it cook for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Finishing Touches
- Toss in the sliced almonds and stir them into the chicken and sauce, cooking for an additional minute.
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
- Pair it with steamed rice or a crisp green salad.
Notes
For intensified flavors, marinate the chicken for longer. Substitute almonds with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
