Saut and Simmer Chicken

Start by heating some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the onion and garlic, cooking them gently until the onion becomes soft and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Turn up the heat to medium-high, add the chicken to the pan, and cook it, stirring now and then, until it’s no longer pink inside and the juices run clear—this should take around 5 to 10 minutes. Next, pour in the water, soy sauce, and Sriracha, giving everything a good stir. Lower the heat back to medium, cover the skillet, and let it cook for about 30 minutes. Once that’s done, stir in the marmalade, bring the mixture to a simmer, and keep cooking until the chicken is super tender and starts to fall apart, which usually takes another 15 minutes or so.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Serving Suggestions

Serve this chicken with steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the sauce. A side of roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad will add freshness and balance to the meal. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra color and crunch.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the sauce from drying out. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the sauce and chicken may change.
