Spicy Orange Chicken Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 large navel oranges
2 TBSPs cornstarch
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 TBSPs lemon juice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1/8 TSP crushed red pepper flakes
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 TSP salt
1/2 TSP pepper
2 TSPs canola oil, divided
Hot cooked rice
Sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions

Recipe Instructions:

Finely grate peel from one orange; place peel in a small bowl.
Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of each orange; stand oranges upright on a cutting board.
With a knife, cut off peel and outer membrane from oranges.
Working over the small bowl with orange peel to catch juices, cut along the membrane of each segment to remove fruit; set sectioned oranges aside.
Stir cornstarch, broth, vinegar, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, jalapeno and pepper flakes into orange juice and peel.

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 TSP oil over medium-high heat.
Add half of the chicken; stir-fry 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink.
Remove from pan.
Repeat with remaining oil and chicken.

Stir cornstarch mixture and add to pan.
Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
Stir in reserved orange sections.
Serve with rice.
Sprinkle servings with sesame seeds and green onions.
