Ingredients

• 3 ounces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 small Orange
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 packet Stevia
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Juice the small orange into a bowl and zest its peel, ensuring you only scrape the orange part of the rind (avoid the white pith for less bitterness). Set aside the juice and zest.

Step 2

Thinly slice or dice the chicken breast into bite-size pieces for even cooking. Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

Peel and finely grate or mince the fresh ginger.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of water to prevent sticking. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and mostly cooked through.

Step 5

Pour the fresh orange juice into the skillet and add the orange zest, grated ginger, and stevia. Stir gently to distribute the flavors evenly.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, reducing slightly. Continue stirring occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce clings lightly to the meat.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or stevia as preferred.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy immediately, perhaps with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad, all in line with HCG Phase 2 guidelines.
