Recipe of the Day!

Lately, I haven't been cooking chicken for some reason. Now I do have some when I go out to eat but at home, I've rarely cooked it. I remembered this yummy recipe for chicken I've made several times in the past. It's something easy to do and you can add spices or whatever you wish.

Sauteed Orange Chicken with Ginger

Ingredients:

3 pounds chicken legs and/or thighs

2 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 cup orange juice (buy simply oranges or squeeze your own pure OJ!)

2 navel oranges, peeled and sectioned

2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger

1 tsp dried basil

4 tsp lemon or lime juice

Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

Season chicken with pepper. In a large fry pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, turning, until brown all over, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for one minute. Pour orange juice over chicken. Add orange sections, ginger, lemon/lime juice, and basil. Stir well. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, until chicken is tender.
