Orange Chicken

By Fiona Haynes, About.com

This is a nice tangy dish that the whole family will enjoy. Serve with rice and green beans.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp finely shredded orange peel
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 small oranges, peeled, skinned and chopped

Preparation:

Rinse and dry chicken breasts. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Cook chicken on medium/high until no longer pink - about 10-12 minutes, turning once.

In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch, orange peel and salt. Gradually stir the 1/2 cup orange juice into the cornstarch mixture. Cook until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for a further two minutes. Add the orange pieces and heat through.

To serve, place chicken on plates. Spoon sauce over chicken.
