Orange Chicken



What you will need...
 2 bags white rice, 2 boneless chicken breasts,
1tbs orange zest, 2 tbs OJ, about 2 1/2 tbs soy sauce,
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper,1/4 tsp cayenne pepper,
3/4 C brown sugar, 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1tbs rice vinegar, 1 1/2 C chicken broth, 2 tsp minced garlic,
and about a tbs of lemon juice.

 Heat chicken broth, OJ, soy sauce, ginger, vinegar, garlic and orange zest.

 Cut chicken into small cubes.

 Add brown sugar, and both red peppers.

 Heat about 1/2 C of oil .. (canola, vegetable or olive oil works fine).
I also like to add a tbs of butter, but optional.

 Beat 1 egg and add chicken.
Toss chicken in flour or a light breading.

 Add to hot oil. Continue cooking on med-high.

Brown on both sides until cooked through.

Place on paper towels to get off excess oil.

 Mix about 3 tbs of cornstarch with VERY cold water.
Also, this is probably a good time to start boiling the water
for the rice.

 Add mixture to pan, stirring frequently over med-high heat.

When sauce thickens, add chicken and cook on low heat 
for about 10-15 minutes. 

Add to the white rice.... and ENJOY.
