Optional Step: If you prefer bite-size pieces of chicken for easier eating, you can remove the chicken from the skillet once it’s browned, let it cool slightly, then cut it into bite-size pieces before returning it to the skillet.
-
Layer with Onions: Arrange the sliced onions over the chicken in the skillet. The onions will add a subtle sweetness and aroma to the dish as they cook alongside the chicken.
-
Prepare the Orange Sauce: In a bowl, combine the orange juice concentrate, water, brown sugar, parsley flakes, and ginger. This flavorful sauce will infuse the chicken with a delightful citrusy tang.
-
Pour Over Chicken: Pour the prepared orange sauce over the chicken and onions in the skillet, ensuring that the chicken is well coated with the sauce.
-
Simmer: Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer gently in the orange sauce for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. This slow simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Serve: Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, serve it hot over a bed of cooked white rice or brown rice. The tender chicken and tangy orange sauce pair wonderfully with the fluffy rice, creating a wholesome and satisfying meal.
