Orange Chicken

This is a recipe that has 'gone viral' on Facebook. People have shared the dickens out of it, but no one on my friend list has made it and shared their opinion. So here ya go!

ORANGE CHICKEN

Makes @ 6 Servings

SAUCE:

¾ cup 'regular' BBQ sauce

1 cup orange marmalade

2 TBSP low-sodium soy sauce

CHICKEN:

3 boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes

@1 cup flour
2 or 3 eggs
Canola oil

For the sauce: Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. With the heat on low, let simmer for @20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

For the chicken: Dip the pieces of chicken in the egg and then flour. Set on a plate until all pieces are covered. In a frying pan, put a thin layer of oil and, once it starts sizzling, add half of the chicken. Cook for 3 – 5 minutes on each side or until it's browned and no longer pink inside. Put on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Cook the other half of the chicken; drain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MY SPIN: The original recipe said it was '3-Ingredient Orange Chicken'......NOT!!! The original recipe only counted the BBQ sauce, orange marmalade and chicken as ingredients. It also called for a full cup of BBQ sauce, but it was somewhat overpowering so I would change to the ¾ cup. The original picture showed the chicken already mixed with the sauce and then served over rice. Again, I think that would be overpowering......and I served it over orzo. Did a side of fresh steamed broccoli to get some veggie and color.

 

 

Messy kitchen!

REMEMBER......a recipe is just a suggestion!

It was so good.....he went back for seconds!
