Orange Chicken

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound chicken, cut into thin strips
  • 1/4 cup orange peel, cut into slivers
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup orange marmalade
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  1. In a wok or skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips 1/3 at a time. Stir-fry for 3 minutes or until browned, removing the done pieces to a plate lined with paper towels.
  2. Return all the beef to the wok. Stir in orange peel, garlic, and ginger; stir-fry 1 minute.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, broth, soy sauce, orange juice, marmalade, and red pepper. Pour this mixture into the beef, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 1 minute. Serve hot. **I didn't have any marmalade, so I added a little peach jam and some orange slices, sliced thin. It was YUMMY!!
