About
This Weeknight Orange Chicken Thigh Stir Fry is a quick and flavorful meal that comes together in under 20 minutes! Juicy orange chicken thighs are stir-fried with onions and broccoli, then coated in a deliciously tangy Kikkoman® Orange Sauce. Served over rice and finished with fresh orange slices, this dish brings the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and citrusy goodness to your dinner table. It’s a great weeknight option that pairs perfectly with rice or can be served on its own for a low-carb meal. For a fun twist, swap out the broccoli for snap peas or bell peppers, or turn it into stir-fried rice by tossing everything together with cooked rice in the pan before serving. However you make it, this quick stir fry is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! Tips and Tricks- To get a perfect sear, let the chicken thighs cook undisturbed for the first couple of minutes before stirring.
- Want extra citrus flavor? Add a teaspoon of orange zest to the sauce while simmering.
- For a lighter option, swap the rice for cauliflower rice or serve over stir-fried veggies.
- Leftovers? Store them in an airtight container for up to three days—this dish reheats beautifully!
