This was really tasty, we all gave this a 9, the chicken was super delicious. This was from Michael Symon's 5 in 5 cookbook, and my biggest complaint was that it took waaay longer than 5 minutes, because cutting up my peas took a while :). Unlike my complaint about the oatmeal I featured recently, this was not too orangey. We really liked it. Each serving was 343, and here's what I did:
1/4 c flour
salt and pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped into bite size pieces
2 T olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 T sesame seeds
grated zest and juice of 2 oranges
1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 lb snow peas, thinly sliced
2 T unsalted butter
Season the flour with salt and pepper in a bowl, and season the chicken on all sides with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the oil in a large pan, and cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until well browned. Add the garlic and sesame seeds, and some salt, and cook for about 30 seconds.
Add 1/2 c water to deglaze the pan, then simmer until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the orange zest and juice and red pepper flakes, then cook for another minute. Add the peas, cover the pot, and cook until slightly tender, about one more minute.
Add the butter to the pan, taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve.
Was this hot with the red pepper flakes? It seems like with two oranges it would be really orangey. Your presentation is lovely. Love mom
ReplyDeleteI have made this many tines. The chili flakes cut the "orange" with very little heat. Its onebof my favorites.
