Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 454g chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup 240g orange marmalade
  • 1 cup 240g BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil optional, for cooking

Instructions
 

Cook Chicken

  • I heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. I add 1 lb chicken pieces, cooking for 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through for a juicy zesty chicken dish.

Mix Sauce

  • In a bowl, I combine 1 cup orange marmalade and 1 cup BBQ sauce, stirring until smooth for a vibrant simple chicken meal sauce.

Coat and Simmer

  • I pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet, stirring to coat evenly. I simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens, creating a glossy tangy orange chicken.

Serve

  • I serve hot over rice or veggies, garnished with sesame seeds for a stunning zesty chicken dish.
