    List of Ingredients




    Orange Chicken - microwave
    Total time: 15 minutes
    Servings: 2

    Ingredients
    2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 to 6-oz. each)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
    1 cup cooked rice
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 cup fresh orange juice
    1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
    2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

    Recipe



    Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound lightly, forming a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Remove plastic wrap and sprinkle chicken with salt.
    In a small bowl, stir together orange peel, rice and cinnamon. Spoon rice mixture on top of chicken breast, spreading to within a 1/4 inch of the edge. Fold in sides of the chicken breast and roll up, jelly-roll style, starting at one end. Place chicken roll, seam-side down, in a shallow baking dish. Cover with vented plastic wrap. Microwave, covered, on MEDIUM for 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is tender, rotating the dish a half-turn after 2 minutes.
    Stir together orange juice and cornstarch. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for about 1 minute, or until thickened and bubbly, stirring every 20 seconds. Stir in walnuts. Spoon orange sauce over chicken to serve.
