Orange chicken and broccoli rice bowls are a gluten-free meal loaded with sweet and savory spicy flavors. This dish is made with paleo-friendly ingredients. The chicken is baked instead of fried for a healthier meal.

One of the most popular dishes to order at a Chinese restaurant is orange chicken. Who doesn’t enjoy tender pieces of meat tossed in a sweet and tangy sauce? This version takes on a healthier spin, using gluten-free and paleo ingredients for a wholesome a satisfying meal.


The chicken marinates in a mandarin orange sauce loaded with bold and spicy Asian flavors that coat the meat. Instead of deep frying the smaller bites of chicken, whole lean chicken breast is roasted in the oven with the sauce. For those looking for a grain-free side dish option, steamed broccoli rice accompanies the tender chicken for a delicious protein and vegetable-packed meal all in one bowl!

Orange chicken is all about the sauce! For this recipe, the chicken gets a chance to marinate and infuse the flavors on the surface and then gets cooked right in the sauce.

The delicious liquid is a combination of fresh mandarin oranges, spicy chili paste, tamari, lime juice, garlic, red onion, rice wine vinegar and orange marmalade. I used only a tablespoon of chili paste because I’m a spicy food wimp, but double up if you want a strong kick!
