Spicy Orange Peel Chicken

By Addie

I got this recipe so long ago, I don't remember where it came from! Some magazine, probably. This is a really fresh and good alternative to fajitas. The only thing I recommend is to use fresh ginger. For years I had used powdered (ugh) and then one day I actually had fresh ginger and WHOA the difference in taste blew me away! I read that you can freeze ginger. So that is what I did. Then I will always have it fresh when I need it. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup orange marmalade
• 3 tbs veg. oil, divided
• 3 tbs soy sauce, divided
• 1 1/2 tsp lime juice
• 1 tsp minced ginger
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken tenders
• 4 cups fresh or frozen stir fry vegetables, such as red and green Bell peppers, whatever you want really
• Chow Mein noodles and/or rice

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together marmalade, 2 tbs oil, 1 tbs soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, and red pepper flakes in small bowl. Set aside.


Heat remaining 1 tbs oil in wok or large skillet over high heat.


Add chicken an remaining 2 tbs soy sauce, toss to coat. Stir-fry chicken until no longer pink, about 5 minutes on both sides. Add vegetables and stir fry until crisp tender, about 4 minutes.


Add prepared sauce, heat 1 minute stirring occasionally. Serve with Chow Mein noodles and/or rice.

NOTE: This is another recipe that I use the bell peppers I bought fresh, then froze. Saves me so much time and money!
