|
2 | tablespoons |
cornstarch
|
|
¼ | cup |
white vinegar
|
|
¼ | cup |
sugar

|
1 ½ | tablespoons |
soy sauce, sodium reduced
|
|
½ | teaspoon |
ginger
ground |
* |
2 | drops |
sesame oil
|
* |
8 | ounces |
water chestnuts
sliced (1 can, drained) |
|
1 | pound |
chicken breast halves, boneless, skinless
cut into 1" chunks |
|
1 | medium |
sweet red bell peppers
or green bell pepper, cut into strips |
|
1 | stalk |
celery

* |
11 | ounces |
mandarin oranges
1 can, drained |
|
4 | cups |

Directions
In a small cup or ramekin, stir together ¼ cup of the broth and the cornstarch; set aside.
In 10-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat, combine the remaining broth, the vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil and water chestnuts. Heat mixture to boiling.


Add chicken to skillet/wok. Reduce heat to low. Cook 10 minutes. Add pepper strips and sliced celery; cook 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
Stir in cornstarch/broth mixture. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Gently stir in the Mandarin oranges just before serving (they will break up if cooked longer than a few seconds).


Serve over hot cooked rice; garnish with orange peel curl and fresh parsley sprigs, if desired.
