In this chicken recipe, a cut up chicken is browned then cooked with orange juice and seasonings, served with hot cooked rice. Top this yummy chicken with sliced green onions before serving.

Prep Time: 12 minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Total Time: 42 minutes

• 1/2 cup flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 to 3 1/2 pounds chicken pieces (or use 1 broiler fryer chicken, cut up)
• 1 large orange, seedless
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups orange juice
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• hot cooked rice
• 1 green onion, with green part, sliced

Instructions:

Combine flour and salt in a food storage bag or paper bag; add chicken pieces, a few at a time, and toss to coat well. Reserve remaining flour mixture.

Grate 1 teaspoon of peel from orange; reserve. Peel the orange and separate into sections. Cut each section into 4 pieces; set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken pieces and brown quickly on both sides, about 5 minutes. Combine reserved flour mixture, orange peel, orange juice, and sugar; stir well. Stir orange juice mixture into the skillet; cover, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking for 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Prepare rice while chicken is cooking. Spoon hot rice onto a serving dish; top with chicken pieces. Stir orange pieces and green onion into the skillet; heat through. Spoon a little of the sauce over the chicken and serve the rest on the side. Serves 4 to 5.
