Happiness Is...

Okay so I know I went forever without blogging at all and now I do it all the time.....it's just so fun!! 

Last night I made this great dinner!!! I found the recipe off of a blog. Here is the recipe for anyone who would like to try it. It's way easy and so delicious!!!! It really isn't that spicy however, so next time I am going to put crushed red pepper flakes in the sauce to add a little heat, but if you don't like spicy things then just make it as it is!!!! You will love it, I promise!!!

I found it on thisweekfordinner.com

SPICY ORANGE CHICKEN
From: Mary/Grammy McCarthy
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 boneless skinles
s chicken breasts
- 1/2 C flour
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1/2 t. pepper
- 3 T butter

Sauce:
- 2 T brown sugar
- 2 T vinegar
- 1 C orange juice
- 1 t. nutmeg
- 1 t. dried basil
- 1 small can mandarin oranges
- Jane Note: I add ground ginger as well. I also 1.5 X the sauce ingredients.

DIRECTIONS:
Combine flour, salt and pepper in bag. Shake chicken pieces until coated. Brown on both sides in butter in skillet over medium heat. Drain off fat.

Combine sauce ingredients (1 1/2 times the recipe) and add to skillet. Cover and cimmer ~30 minutes or until tender. For a “sophisticated touch” add drained mandarin oranges and heat about 5 mins.

Note: cook chicken and sauce in covered skillet, but tip the cover a little to thicken sauce towards the end of cooking time. Bon appetit! This also freezes will if you make it ahead and save for “company” supper. XO Grammy
