A Seasonal Recipe - Citrus Chicken (Liz Bennett

I always try where possible to buy seasonal, it just seems to taste better. Here is an easy recipe I use with oranges. Blood oranges are currently in season. They give a dark colour and a unique avour to the sauce, but other oranges when they are in season can be used as an alternative.

Serves 2

2 chicken breasts (can substitute with turkey steaks) cut into small strips.

To make the sauce mix the following:-

Zest & juice from two medium oranges 2 tbsp honey 2 tsp soy sauce 2 cloves of garlic chopped 2 inch piece root ginger, peeled & grated (as an alternative, I’ve also used stem ginger) Pinch of salt.

Using 2 tbsp vegetable or sunower oil, heat and fry the meat till golden brown. Then add the sauce mix and stir, until thickened. A little (1 tsp ) cornour mixed with a little water to thicken the sauce can be stirred in if necessary. Cook for two or three minutes to ensure that the chicken is cooked and the sauce is of the right consistency.

This is the basic mix , if you wish you can add onions / vegetables of choice cut into ne slices, make sure they are added before the orange mix.

Serve with rice or pasta of choice.

ENJOY
