I like chicken, almost any way you can fix it but my favorites, other than Country Fried or good old fashioned Chicken and Biscuits has to be the stir fry chicken recipes of which I have several. I love a meal of chicken with veggies over rice or pasta. The following is one of my favorites.

CHICKEN STIR FRY ALA ORANGE

1 pound skinless Chicken Breast cut into bite sized cubes
2 Tbsp. sesame oil or peanut oil
4-5 cloves garlic minced

Add oil and garlic to heated wok

Add chicken and stir until lightly browned
Reduce heat to medium low

Add 1 Tbsp. peanut butter
1 Tbsp. Orange Marmalade
1 tsp. dry mustard

Stir until melted

Add a quarter cup soy sauce
quarter cup sweet and sour sauce
Zest and Juice of 1 orange
2 tsp. ginger minced
1 Tbsp. Rice Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Honey

Stir and toss gently

Add 2 cups fresh mushroom pieces
1 medium yellow onion slivered
1 green pepper slivered
half pound pea pods
half pound fresh green beans (if small leave whole or cut lengthwise "julienne cut")
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley

Stir and toss gently until meat is thoroughly cooked and vegetables are cooked through and slightly tender.

Serve over cooked rice with a leafy green side salad, a whole grain roll and tea and you have a very lovely meal that is actually good for you and it is pretty on the plate.
