[10.5% CFF] Per breast with sauce: 163 cals, 1.9 g fat. | Prep 5 mins ~ Simmer 15-18 Remove rind pieces from orange and lemon with a vegetable peeler and rough chop. Heat a saute or skillet large enough to just hold the meat pieces. Spray. Sear to lightly brown the chicken pieces, both sides.

Meanwhile combine all the sauce ingredients in a measuring cup (or bowl with spout). Pour into the hot pan and let the liquid boil a bit to cook the thickener. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and cook gently for 15 minutes. Serve with the cooking juices.

Add WATER ( quarter to half cup) or more apple juice to moisten the sauce.

Menu * The sauce is spicy, biting and sweet. Taste is similar to some versions of Pad Thai -so serve with noodles or angle hair spaghetti or with hot steamed white rice (either long or medium grain). A dark green vegetable or medley that includes one would also be a good choice. . -original recipe revised and tested by patH (To Eat-LF 0. 0.25773195876289 phannema@wizard.ucr.edu) Variation (See JP-note): use dark meat; a thigh with attached leg; remove skin.
