Orange Chicken

Tauna Wilkes Meyer

Here's a recipe I just tried and we all liked. It's similar to the Costco orange chicken, just not as spicy. If you like it spicy you could add something for a little more kick, but this recipe is pretty mild, which is perfect for my kids.

4 chicken breasts
1 beaten eggs
1 T. water
1/3c. cornstarch
2 T. butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. orange juice
1/4 c. vinegar
1 T. cornstarch mixed in 2 T. water

Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Dip chicken pieces in egg wash made of beaten egg and water, then coat with cornstarch. Heat butter in frying pan and brown chicken in butter until golden brown. Place in baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients except cornstarch mix in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture (1T. cornstarch 2 T. water) as needed to make a thin sauce. Pour over chicken pieces and bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove cover and bake another 15 minutes. Serve with rice.
