PF Changs....THAT'S RIGHT....PF Changs Orange Peel Chicken

WOW!!!! This was amazing!!!!!I could have sworn I was at PF Changs tonight. It's been over 3 hrs. since dinner and I am still a little stunned at how identical this tasted to their orange peel chicken! If you've ever had it, you know how delighted I must feel right now to have recreated it. It's all in the sauce, and boy was it delectable! I made enough for my whole family tonight, so if you are only cooking for two you could decrease the recipe by half, and still have some leftovers:):)

Serves 6
6 boneless chicken breasts
1 1/2tsp. sea salt
1c. coconut flour
1/2c. coconut oil
Cut the chicken into small chunks. Place chicken in a large bowl, then sprinkle with sea salt and coconut flour and toss to coat completely. It will be just a light dusting. Heat 3tbls. of coconut oil on medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides. Repeat in batches until all the chicken is cooked. Set aside.

The sauce:
2tbls. coconut or grapeseed oil
6-8 green onions chopped
4tsp. garlic chopped
Peel from half an orange, cut into small slivers
1 1/2c. tomato puree
4tbls. chili sauce (you can find this at world market or your grocery store in the ethnic food section. It's a spicy japanese sauce)
2tbls. braggs liquid aminos
1/4c. honey
3/4c. water
juice of one orange
Heat the oil medium high and add onions and garlic and orange peel. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Once boiling turn completely off and let it sit on the stove. It will thicken slightly. Toss with chicken and serve over a fluffy bed of quinoa:)
Note: You could use any protein you want, shrimp, beef, or even tofu instead of chicken:)
