Instructions

1. Whisk together the preserves, orange zest & juice, broth, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and Sriracha in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Heat the peanut oil in a non stick skillet or wok. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper and toss with the cornstarch. Stir fry until browned and nearly cooked through. Add the orange sauce and stir to combine scraping up the browned bits from pan bottom. Let the sauce come to a boil, and cook for until thickened, 60 to 90 seconds.
