MANDARIN ORANGE CHICKEN
Roasted chicken breast halves basted with orange juice and wine, and cooked with mandarin segments and green seedless grapes. Just y-u-m-m-y for those who love citrus flavourings. I've only made this once, but I intend to experiment by varying the citrus flavourings: by substituting some or all of the orange juice for lemon or lime juice, or a blending of several citrus juices. And knowing how well rum blends with orange juice, I have considered using rum next time in place of the wine. That would make it even more of a dinner party dish! Adapted from a truly terrific book (when it comes to recipe books, I rate as 'terrific' a book in which LOTS of the recipes appeal to me, AFTER I've purchased the book, not just one or two) Rodale's "Terrific Chicken: 100 Great Meals in Minutes". Not all one hundred appeal to me but I've so far found several that I'm really glad to have found, and that I'll certainly be making again, and there are several others that I look forward to making. This recipe was from a section called 'Weekend Fare'. I do hope that other citrus lovers enjoy this recipe.

Tips:
- Use fresh mandarin oranges: Fresh mandarin oranges will provide the best flavor for this dish. If you can't find fresh mandarin oranges, you can use canned mandarin oranges, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the dish.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still tender and juicy.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality soy sauce. Look for a soy sauce that is labeled "brewed" or "naturally fermented."
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken and vegetables will be at their best when they are freshly cooked.
