Paleo Orange Chicken with Cauliflower Rice

Tender chicken thighs are simmered in a sweet and sticky homemade orange glaze and served over a bed of low-carb cauliflower rice. It's a simple paleo recipe the whole family will enjoy.

INGREDIENTS

– Orange juice – Honey – Sesame oil – Coconut aminos – Tapioca starch – Chili flakes – Turmeric

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Dry the chicken with paper towels and then season them with salt and pepper.

1

Sear the chicken thighs for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until both sides are well browned. Remove the pan from the heat.

2

While the chicken is searing, prepare the orange glaze. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the orange juice, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, tapioca starch, chili flakes, turmeric, ginger, and garlic.

3

Pour the sauce over the seared chicken and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat so that the chicken is barely simmering, cover the pan, and let it cook for 10 minutes.

4

Flip the chicken over and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
