Chicken Broccoli Stir-fry

________________________________
INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 tbsp grated ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
2 large chicken breasts, sliced into pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
1 head broccoli (about 1 pound), cut into bite-size florets, stalks peeled and thinly sliced

DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, combine orange zest and juice, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and cornstarch; set stir-fry sauce aside.

2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium. Cook chicken until browned on one side, 1 to 2 minutes (chicken will cook more in step 4). Transfer to a plate and set aside; reserve skillet.

3. Add remaining teaspoon oil, garlic, and scallion whites to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broccoli and 1/2 cup water; cover and cook until broccoli is crisp-tender and water has evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes.

4. Add chicken (with any juices) and stir-fry sauce to skillet. Cook, stirring, until pork is cooked through and sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with scallion greens.
