### How to Make 3-Ingredient Orange Chicken

**Step 1: Prepare the Chicken**
Cut your chicken into small, bite-sized chunks. Season lightly with salt and pepper if you like.

**Step 2: Cook the Chicken**
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken pieces in a bit of oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.

**Step 3: Add the Sauce**
Mix together orange marmalade and soy sauce in a small bowl (about ½ cup marmalade to 2–3 tablespoons soy sauce). Pour over the chicken in the skillet.

**Step 4: Simmer and Glaze**
Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and turns into a sticky, glossy glaze.
