Orange Chicken

Okay, not a good picture. It looks like dog poo BUT it tasted really good.
It didn't lack in flavor at all, in fact you will only need to use a tiny amount of sauce.
(I put on way too much)

DIRECTIONS:


Sauce:
  • 1 1/2 c. Water
  • 2 Tbsp Orange Juice
  • 1/4 c. Lemon Juice
  • 1/3 c. Rice Vinegar
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
1. Pour into saucepan over med/high heat.

  • 1 Tbsp grated Orange Zest
  • 1 c. packed Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground Ginger
  • 1/2 tsp minced Garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped Green Onion
  • 1/4 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
2. Combine with sauce and bring to boil. Cool for 15 minutes.

Chicken:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3. Cut into 1/2 inch pieces & put into zip lock bag with 3/4 cup of sauce from the pan. Marinate in fridge for 2 hours.

4. Heat oil in pan.
  • 1 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
5. Combine ingredients in a zip lock bag. Add chicken (with marinade drained off) to bag and coat with flour.

6. Brown both sides of chicken in oil.

7. Reheat the sauce. Mix 1 1/2 Tbsp. Cornstarch & 1 Tbsp. water and add to the sauce to thicken.

8. Serve Chicken over rice and spoon on sauce (lightly).
