7 ounces boned and skinned chicken breast halves -- trimmed
of fat
(about 3.5oz per serving)
**For the SAUCE:
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons potato starch -- or flour
1 strip lemon peel -- (1x2-inch)
1 strip orange peel -- (1x2-inch)
2 teaspoons minced ginger -- fresh
2 small garlic cloves -- peel and slice
1/2 cup apple juice -- or cider

[10.5% CFF] Per breast with sauce: 163 cals, 1.9 g fat. | Prep 5 mins ~
Simmer 15-18

Remove rind pieces from orange and lemon with a vegetable peeler and rough
chop. Heat a saute or skillet large enough to just hold the meat pieces.
Spray. Sear to lightly brown the chicken pieces, both sides.

Meanwhile combine all the sauce ingredients in a measuring cup (or bowl
with spout). Pour into the hot pan and let the liquid boil a bit to cook
the thickener. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and cook gently for 15
minutes. Serve with the cooking juices.

Add WATER (1/4 to 1/2 cup) or more apple juice to moisten the sauce.

Menu * The sauce is spicy, biting and sweet. Taste is similar to some
versions of Pad Thai -- so serve with noodles or angle hair spaghetti or
with hot steamed white rice (either long or medium grain). A dark green
vegetable or medley that includes one would also be a good choice. . --
