Servings: persons

1 (6- to 8-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 medium oranges, divided
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 pinch of flaky sea salt
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon warm water
1 tablespoon neutral flavored oil (we use avocado oil)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 jalapeno, finely diced
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
1 pinch of flaky sea salt
1/2 lime, juiced
1 garlic clove, minced

1
Place the chicken breast in a zip-top plastic bag. Add the zest and juice of 1 orange, sesame oil, and flaky sea salt to bag. Seal the bag, removing any excess air, and massage the chicken with the marinade. Place bag the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before cooking.
2
In a small saucepan, whisk together the zest and juice of the remaining orange, soy sauce, and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon warm water. Stir until a smooth slurry is formed. Once the orange juice mixture is boiling, whisk in the cornstarch slurry; cook, stirring constantly, 2-3 minutes or until thickened.
3
Thread chicken onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. Brush a grill pan with neutral flavored oil. Heat oiled pan over medium heat; once pan is hot, add the skewers. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until grill marks are visible. Once the chicken is nearly done, brush each side with the orange and soy sauce glaze.
4
Prepare yogurt dip. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, jalapeno, mint, salt, lime juice and garlic. Mix well. Serve dip with the chicken skewers.
