All-in-the-pantry Orange Chicken
You can make it right out of the cupboard, with some fresh or frozen chicken. I used frozen chicken breasts from M&M. Anther thing - this works equally well if you have 2 salmon fillets or steaks.
Ingredients - serves 2, feel free to double
2 chicken breast halves
4 TBSP orange marmalade
1/2 cup flour
1 TSP cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
1/2 cup chicken broth
Splash of Light oil
Sprinkle of salt & pepper
half a lemon
Instructions
Sprinkle salt, pepper and cayenne pepper over chicken. Dip in flour and pat off excess. Preheat pan, add chlli pepper, toast for a couple of tosses, then add the oil. Heat through, and fish out the chilli pepper flakes with a spatula. Brown chicken on both sides.
Microwave marmalade for 30 seconds, stir, and pour over chicken. turn to coat. Add chicken broth to pan, and lower heat. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
Serve on a bed of coleslaw and squeeze lemon juice over top. Makes a great midsummer meal. Ever notice that the hotter the climate, the spicier the food? Spicy food actually helps you cool down.
