HONEY ORANGE GLAZED CHICKEN

Category: Chicken

1/4 c. oil
3/4 c. finely chopped onion
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. cornstarch
3/4 tsp. dry mustard
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest, grated
1 1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes, crushed
4-5 pieces chicken, seasoned with salt

Heat oil in medium saucepan. Add onion, garlic; saute for 5 minutes.

In a bowl combine cornstarch, the sauteed mixture with the dry mustard and soy sauce. Stir until blended. Then add honey, orange juice, pepper flakes and zest. Bake chicken at 350 degrees turning once in 60 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken and bake until sauce starts to thicken.

Variation to cooking the chicken: In large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tbsp margarine and 1/2 tsp vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook about 4 minutes, until seared. Turn chicken, cook another 4 minutes until just cooked through. Pour honey mixture over chicken and cook, turning chicken to coat as sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Serve chicken breasts with honey-orange glaze spooned over the top.
