I made this last night. I've made it a few times, and everyone in my house loves this dish. The only changes I make is I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts which I cut into bite-size chunks (so I reduce the cooking time accordingly), and based on earlier reviews of this recipe, I cut back on the OJ - I use about a cup and a quarter.

ORANGE AND GINGER CHICKEN

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

4 boneless chicken breast halves with skin
All purpose flour
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 cups orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
3/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; dust with flour. Melt butter with oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate. Add ginger to skillet; stir 1 minute. Add brown sugar and mustard and stir to blend into drippings. Add orange juice and orange peel. Simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer 3 minutes. Turn chicken over and add green onions. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce is thick enough to coat spoon, about 3 minutes longer. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Transfer chicken and sauce to platter.

Serves 4.

Barrie, this looks really good. I've been in a cooking rut lately but I think I'll give this a try over the weekend. Thanks for posting it.
