4 servings
For the marinade
- ½ cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 medium oranges)
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit the fiber in fruit. Juice has almost none of it and this recipe uses only about 2 tablespoons of orange juice per serving, so a pulp-free juice here is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid orange juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp orange zest (from about 1 orange)
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit citrus peel because of its fiber. The recipe uses only about 3/4 teaspoon of finely grated orange zest per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid orange peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
Chef's tipSoy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust. - 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit fibrous roots and whole spices. Only about 1/4 teaspoon of finely grated fresh ginger is used per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
For the chicken
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
