Quick and Easy Orange Chicken

[Cooksie]

This is like the orange chicken that you get at the wok places in the mall. It's not PF Chang quality, but it's quick and tasty.






Chicken tenders (about 6 to 8, cut into bite size pieces)
Cornstarch
Vegetable oil for frying

For the sauce:

1 T vegetable oil
1 T minced garlic
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1 cup beef broth, divided
1 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch

White or fried rice

Dust the chicken tender pieces with cornstarch and fry them in batches in the oil until lightly golden brown. They won't get real dark because of the use of the cornstarch. I use a deep fryer.

Lightly saute the garlic in the 1 T of oil, add the marmalade, 1/2 cup of the broth, and the soy sauce. Simmer until slightly thickened. Mix together the 2 tsp cornstarch and the remaining 1/2 cup beef broth. Add to the sauce mix and continue cooking for a few more minutes. The longer the sauce cooks, the thicker it gets.

Place the chicken over a bed of cooked white rice and cover with sauce. The recipe makes enough sauce for about three servings.

If you want a little kick, add some red pepper flakes after adding the garlic.
