Stir Fried Chicken with an Orange Sauce


I could have called this Orange Chicken but I feel like some people wouldn’t
classify my recipe that way.


Ingredients


Chicken (a pound or two)
Oranges
An Onion
Two Red Bell Peppers
Soy Sauce
Honey
Butter
Flour


Directions


1. Chop your onion and red bell peppers into small bits and throw them in a
large frying pan to cook with a pat of butter, stirring occasionally.
2. Chop your chicken into small bite sized pieces, add them to your pan once
your onions begin to become translucent. Stir occasionally.
3. If you have something to zest your oranges with add some zest to the
ingredients in your pan (if you don’t have a zesting thing don’t worry about
it).
4. While your chicken is cooking hand squeeze the juice out of your oranges into
a bowl, I will usually use the juice of five oranges but three or four might
be enough.
5. Once your chicken is cooked pour your freshly squeezed orange juice into your
pan, then pour in some soy sauce (you want your orange juice to soy sauce
ratio to be about 3:1, use your best judgment on how much to pour in). Add
honey (use as much as you want, I wouldn’t use less than two tablespoons
though) and stir. Turn the stove to medium-high.
6. Let that sit for a few minutes to let the flavors get to know each other a
bit, then stir in a few spoonfuls of flour to thicken the sauce.
7. Once the sauce has reached your preferred level of thickness take it off the
heat. Serve over rice.
