Orange Chicken with Peppers

Recipe from my cookbook: Reader's Digest Great Chicken Dinners.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp grated orange zest
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
3/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp minced ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 piece chunks
1 onion, cut into chunks
2 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces

Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, orange zest, orange juice, soy sauce, and salt. Set aside.

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic, and cook 30 seconds. Add broccoli, peppers, onions, and 1/4 cup water, and stir-fry 4 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender.

Stir in chicken, increase heat to medium-high, and stir fry 2 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Stir cornstarch mixture and pour into skillet. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Serve with brown rice.


I've decided to totally copy smittenkitchen.com (one of my favorite food blogs) and start linking back to old recipes.
