My Recipe Invention

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.
