Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • ¾ cup orange juice

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients until smooth; set aside. In a nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry celery and carrots in 2 teaspoons oil until crisp-tender. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, stir-fry chicken in remaining oil until no longer pink.
