This is a good sweet and sour Asian recipe that I have made many times. I love that it is easy and doesn't require expensive ingredients or a lot of time. *Bonus* Kids like it too! Ingredients:
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained |
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained |
4 teaspoons brown sugar |
2 tablespoons white vinegar |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in |
1/4 cup water |
1 1/2 cups chicken broth or 1 1/2 cups chicken stock |
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and fileted |
cooked rice or asian noodles |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine first 6 ingredients and begin cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, bring the broth to a gentle simmer.
3. Place chicken in the skillet, cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes or until cooked completely.
4. By now, the sauce should be clear and thickened and ready to spoon over the chicken.
5. Remove chicken from the poaching liquid and serve with sauce spooned over it and some rice or asian noodles on the side.
