Simple Orange Chicken

There's only a few ingredients here but the final dish is quite flavourful and yummy. Each flavour is distinctive but melds well with the others. Kind of like a good dinner party guest list.

Simple Orange Chicken

Serves 4

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 can (10 ounces) mandarin oranges in light syrup
1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp grated ginger root
1 tsp Chinese five spice powder

Spray large skillet with cooking spray and add chicken, cooking over medium heat until no longer pink (flip at least once.) Remove from skillet and set aside.

Give mandarin oranges one pulse in the food processor or with an immersion blender (they should still be chunky. Whisk in brown sugar, cornstarch, Chinese five powder spice and ginger root. Heat in skillet until thickened (1-2 minutes) and then return chicken to skillet. Simmer chicken covered until tender and no longer pink inside, 5-7 minutes. Serve with sauce spooned on top.
