Asian Orange Chicken for Two

Cooked this recipe last night and it turned out to be very tasty.

Cook 1 cup of rice and set aside. California Basmati Rice is my choice.

In a sauce pan, combine the following ingredients to make a sauce:

1 ½ cups of water
2 tablespoons of orange juice or 1 fresh orange
Lemon juice from one lemon
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 ½ tablespoons of soy sauce or tamari sauce
1 tablespoon of orange zest
½ cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of fresh ginger
½ teaspoon of garlic
2 tablespoons of green onions
Small amount of red pepper flakes

Bring to a boil and cook on lower heat for about 10 minutes . Remove from heat and set aside.

Slice a chicken breast horizontally to make two pieces. Dip them in salted and peppered flour and cook until done in a flat pan. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Pour the sauce into the flat pan and bring to a boil. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and a small amount of cold water. Stir the mixture into the sauce. Reduce heat, add the chicken pieces, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Serve over rice.
