CURRIED ORANGE CHICKEN
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375. In a small saucepan, mix orange juice, honey and mustard. Over medium heat, stir with whisk until mixed well. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Sprinkle curry powder generously over both sides of the chicken, rubbing it in with your fingers. Place chicken into baking pan and pour the sauce over it. Place dish in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn chicken over and bake another 25-30 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate. Pour pan juices into a saucepan. Mix cornstarch and water and add to sauce in pan. Mix well, over medium heat. Stir until sauce thickens slightly (generally just a few minutes). Put chicken on the table and pass the sauce to spoon over it and the rice.
Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use fresh oranges for the sauce. If fresh oranges are not available, you can substitute bottled or canned orange juice. However, the flavor will not be as vibrant.
- Use a good quality curry powder. Curry powder can vary in flavor and quality, so it is important to use a brand that you trust. Look for a curry powder that has a rich, complex flavor.
- Do not overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the curried orange chicken over rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Curried orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table.
