For a spicier kick, add an extra pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili oil. If you don't have fresh orange juice, store-bought works well too. Make sure it's pulp-free! Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables in this stir-fry. Bell peppers, mushrooms, or bok choy would all be delicious additions. To make this dish gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just reheat before adding the chicken and vegetables.
