List of Ingredients




1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges
1 small onion, chopped
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Hot cooked rice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro


Recipe



In a small bowl, combine the salt, ginger and pepper. Sprinkle over both sides of chicken. In a nonstick skillet, saute chicken in oil for 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken to plate and keep warm.


Reduce heat to medium-low. Drain oranges, reserving juice. Stir juice, onion and red pepper flakes into skillet. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Bring to a boil. Return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat; cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Place chicken over rice; keep warm.

Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for about 2 minutes or until mixture is thickened.

Add mandarin oranges; heat through. Pour sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Yield: 4 servings.
