,I am very surprised that I get to include food, and especially an original recipe, as part of my blog posts. (I know this is a deviation from the spiritual musings that I usually post; however, we are all eclectic, and we all need to eat.) I'm surprised because I don't consider myself that great of a cook. Yes, I have been able to get a meal on the table and for the food to be enjoyable. Generally, though, I am following a preset recipe and the only deviations are my errors in follow through. Fortunately, I have been blessed in that these errors have worked in my favor more often than not.
Following is a recipe that is the result of one of those errors:
Marcia's Orange Chicken Surprise.
Preheat oven to 350° F
3 or 4 pieces of boneless chicken breast
(If you need a larger quantity, double the recipe)
2 Tbs butter
Brown chicken in butter and arrange in baking dish
In a bowl combine:
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
3 Tbs brown sugar
1 Tbs corn starch
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1/3 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup water
Pour mix over chicken – cover baking dish with foil.
Bake at 350° for 1 hour
Place sauce in a separate bowl and use over chicken and rice.
Uncle Bens long grain and wild rice blends well with these flavors.
