This is a good meal that my kids especially like because of the addition of orange juice and mandarin oranges, and goes very well served over white or jasmine rice. Ingredients:
1 cup fresh broccoli florets |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed |
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms |
2 minced garlic cloves (optional) |
3 teaspoons all-purpose flour |
2/3 cup water |
1/3 cup undiluted thawed orange juice concentrate |
2 chicken bouillon cubes |
11 ounces canned mandarin orange segments, drained |
1/4 cup sliced green onion |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2-6 minutes, depending on size of florets. Drain, cool and set aside.
2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Salt and pepper chicken to taste. Saute chicken in butter until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Saute mushrooms in skillet for 3 minutes; if using garlic, add to pan and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Remove mushrooms (and garlic, if using) from skillet and set aside. Stir in flour, water, orange juice concentrate and seasoning.
4. Heat to boiling, stirring. Simmer, stirring for 4 minutes. Return chicken and mushrooms to skillet. Add green onions and broccoli. Heat through. Just before serving, stir mandarin segments in and serve immediately.
