Chicken
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
- Pour into saucepan water, orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce; and set over medium-high heat. Stir in orange zest, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, red pepper, and chopped onion. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and let cool 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place chicken pieces into a resealable plastic bag. When contents of saucepan have cooled, pour 1 cup of sauce into bag. Reserve remaining sauce. Seal bag, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

- Serve over Fried Rice or steamed white Rice.
- Enjoy.
Hmmmm! not sure about the giant dog. Obviously he's entitled to his opinion of the art in the gallery (!!) but the idea of it spraying yellow paint is a bit repulsive somehow .... :-(
ReplyDeleteAnother wondrous recipe .. I can't keep up with them all although I've bookmarked several.
Yeah, but he has his own art on display, so I don't know what he is expressing contempt for. Yes, I must admit I was a bit took aback by the whole thing though.
DeleteSo you are young and fit, get cooking girl.
That's funny - mum had a procedure cancelled last week because the anaesthetist had a stomach bug... but you just don't think of them getting ill!
ReplyDeleteI love Bad Dog- what a fun idea :)
Happy Wednesday

I know Laura, and I don't know why, they are human just like us, LOL.
DeleteI like the statue, but as said before, not sure about the yellow paint.
I've had a doctor's appointment cancelled because of a baby delivery before. (Someone else's - not the doctor.)
ReplyDeleteDon't know what happens here, I think all maternity matters go straight to hospital. One of the doctor's I see had a baby not so long ago, before I started seeing her.
DeleteI like the bad dog! That's funny.
ReplyDeleteI thought so when I first saw it, but then wasn't so sure when I registered the paint.
