Orange Chicken and Jasmine Rice and green beans

This recipe is one of my favorites both because it is delicious and because it is really easy to make. It tastes just like a restaurant and there isn't a ton of mess in the kitchen for cleanup :-).

Ingredients
1 cup Jasmine rice
2 chicken breasts
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 orange juice from ~3 fresh squeezed oranges
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons ginger powder
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 green onions (green portion chopped for garnish)
1/2 pound green beans

Directions
1. Put jasmine rice into a pot with 2 cups of water and cook according to package directions
2. cook green beans in boiling water for three minutes and set aside
3. Roughly cut your chicken breasts into chunks that are bite-sized
4. Mix egg whites and cornstarch in large bowl for about 1 minute and add the chicken pieces to soak for 10-15 minutes

6. Mix orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, ginger powder and cornstarch into bowl

7. When oil is ready, add the chicken in small batches and cook for 4-6 minutes (until outside of chicken is golden and chicken is cooked through)
