Go to Trader Joe's and get their frozen bag o' Orange Chicken. Cook according to package instructions. Lots easier than making it yourself, and tastes just as good! Make some sticky rice, and some egg rolls. That's it. Good as any run-ot-the-mill Chinese restaurant and lots less $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Orange Chicken


Ingredients:


2 oranges


4 chicken breasts, skinned and boned


1 tablespoon olive oil


1 cup orange juice


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


1/2 cup frozen peas


1 tablespoon cornstarch


1/4 cup water


2 green onions, sliced in 1/4 inch pieces





Directions:





Grate the peel of one orange. Peel and cut the oranges into sections. Set aside.





Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Brown chicken on both sides. Remove from pan and drain any oil from the pan.





Add juice, peel and salt and pepper to the pan. Bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the pan and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer, uncovered for about 10 minutes until chicken is tender. Add frozen peas to the pan during the last 2 minutes.





Mix cornstarch and water together and stir into the pan. Add the reserved orange sections and the green onions. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes until the sauce is thickened and the orange sections are heated. Makes 4 servings.
Chicken marinade:


录 cup orange juice


1 tbsp dark soy


1 tbsp honey





2 陆 tbsp honey


12 dried Thai chilies


2 tbsp peanut oil


1 tbsp sugar


录 tsp salt


2 tbsp dark soy


1 陆 cup orange juice


录 tsp ground ginger


2 tsp cornstarch








Three days before making this recipe, peel a large naval orange and set the peel out to dry on a paper towel for about three days. You want it to be hard and just slightly brown.





Once the orange peel is dried, begin the recipe by cutting off all the fat from the chicken. Then cut each breast into thin 1 陆 inch strips and place them in a marinating container. I usually use a simple plastic bowl with a tight lid for marinating.





In a small bowl mix together all of the ingredients for the marinade. Then add this mixture to the chicken and leave it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.





While the chicken is marinating, cut the orange peel into thin 1 陆 inch long strips and slowly mix these strips together with 1 陆 tablespoons of honey. Try to make sure each strip is coated with the honey. Then set them aside.





Microwave the 陆 bag of frozen broccoli for about 5 minutes or until thoroughly cooked and set aside.





Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil on high. Add the chilies and orange peel and stir until they turn black. They will smoke and burn, but that is exactly what you want in this case. The chilies will turn black first, but continue to cook them until the orange peel turns black as well. This takes about 10 to 12 minutes.





Once blackened, remove the chilies and orange peel and set them aside. Do not clean out the pan. The debris stuck on the bottom of the pan will add flavor to the rest of this wonderful dish.





When the chicken has finished marinating, drain all of the liquid from the chicken. Pouring it into a colander usually does the trick.





Heat the remaining tablespoon of peanut oil on high in the same pan that was used for the orange peel. Add the chicken and cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the chicken browns. About 10 minutes.





While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl mix together 1 tablespoon of sugar, 录 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of dark soy, 1 陆 cups of orange juice, the remaining tablespoon of honey, and 录 teaspoon of ground ginger.





Once the chicken is browned, add the sauce mixture, broccoli, chilies and orange peel. Stir until boiling.





In a small cup mix the cornstarch with a little warm water just to dissolve. Add this mixture to the pan and stir until thick, about 3 minutes.





Serve over white rice. Makes about 2 generous servings.
