Orange-y goodness!!!

From Mexican to Asian, we're traveling all the way across the Pacific Ocean for some Orange Chicken. OK, so no, it's not a true Asian dish, it's pretty Americanized, and yeah oranges aren't a great choice for us Paleo eaters, but when you've got that craving it's better than the chemical, wheat flour, kill your gut garbage food. (Plus it's really yummy!!!)
Big thanks to  health-bent.com for the base of this one!!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken (cut into bite size pieces)
• 3 T coconut oil
• juice of 2 oranges
• zest from 1 orange
• 1 t fresh ginger
• 3 T  wheat-free soy sauce

the original recipe also called for:  (we didn't use them since I didn't have them at the house and it still turned out amazing. I replaced the chili garlic sauce with a spoonful of diced garlic.)

• 1 t chili garlic sauce or sriracha
• 3 green onions, chopped

 "In a medium size sauce pot, add the orange juice, zest, ginger, soy sauce and garlic. Set over medium heat and let simmer to reduce and thicken while the chicken cooks. In a saute pan, heat 3 T of coconut oil over medium high heat. Add the chopped chicken and cook until a nice brown crust has developed on the chicken pieces, about 6 minutes. Add the chicken to the sauce pot and stir to coat with the orange sauce."

We served it over some fried caulirice, couldn't get enough!
