Okay, first of all, let me be honest. I did NOT invent this, as I said in my previous post. I modified it. I woke up yesterday morning and thought “Self, we need to figger out what to do with that chicken… I know, how about something with peppers and mandarin oranges?” So, I set out to find a recipe. I modified, slightly, what I found… here goes:
1 lg red pepper sliced into thin stripes
1 lg yellow pepper sliced into thin stripes
1 can mandarin oranges (strain, but keep juice)
1 cup green onions (cut to about 1 “)
2 tbsp fresh minced ginger
1 can strained water chestnuts
soy sauce
1 lb Chicken breast cut in to strips
“a large handful of raisins”
chinese noodles (prepare as package directs)
1 can chicken broth
Olive oil
In a skillet, add a little olive oil, 1 tbsp minced ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce and the chicken. Grill chicken until no longer pink. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tbsp of soy sauce, a third of the can of chicken broth, the peppers, onions and chestnuts, and stir fry until veggies are crisp but hot. Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, add a third of the can of chicken broth, the noodles, the mandarins and the raisins. Stir fry, then add back in the veggies and the chicken, a little more chicken broth, the juice from the mandarins. Stir together, turn off the heat, and serve.
