To make the keto orange sauce:
In a medium bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, water, orange zest, ChocZero Keto Orange Marmalade, and red pepper flakes (optional). Set aside.
2
To cook the keto orange chicken:
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until just starting to brown. Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook another 1 to 2 minutes.

Pour the keto orange sauce into the skillet with the chicken and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken. If serving with cauliflower rice, now is the time to prepare it.
