Chicken Breast in Orange Sauce

Serves 4

 

· 350g (12oz) chicken breast, skinned and cut into thin strips

· 1 onion, sliced

· 1 clove garlic, crushed

· 1 red pepper, sliced

· 125g (4oz) mangetout

· 125g (4oz) bean sprouts

· 1 orange

 

 

For the Sauce

 

· 4 tablespoons light soy sauce

· 4 tablespoons sherry

· 1 tablespoon tomato puree

· finely grated rind and juice of 1 orange

· 1½ teaspoons cornflour

 

 

Dry-fry the chicken in a wok or large frying pan for 2-3 minutes.  Add the onion, garlic, red pepper and mangetout and stir-fry for a further 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Mix together all the sauce ingredients; add to the pan and cook, stirring until the sauce thickens.

Using a sharp knife, peel and segment the orange, and add to the pan with the bean sprouts.  Heat for a further 2 minutes.

 

Serve at once with rice or noodles.
