Orange Chicken (from your cupboard)
7th July, 2009
I love to make ordinary things into something special, and this is one of my all-time favs. This recipe takes Chicken Rice-a-Roni and turns it into a yummy Asian treat that Jay, Cee, and I love.
Orange Chicken
- 1 pound cubed chicken breast
- 1 package chicken flavored Rice a Roni
- 1 c. orange juice
- 1 1/2 c. hot water
- 1 1/2 c. frozen carrots, thawed
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp butter or margarine
Saute chicken in frying pan until fully cooked, then set aside. In same frying pan melt butter. Add rice from package and cook for a few minutes until lightly browned. Add ginger and garlic powders, Rice a Roni flavor packet, water and orange juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to med-low, and simmer covered for 10 minutes. After simmering, add carrots and chicken to the rice mixture and simmer covered for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until heated through and water is absorbed.
Happy Cooking!
