all in the name of food…

Whats not to love about easy chicken recipes? Everyone loves chicken and I am always looking for new ways to use up chicken that we get in those giant frozen bags from Costco. This recipe is fantastic. It has the kick of fresh citrus and tons of flavor. I love some heat so I added crushed red pepper flakes. I think it pairs nicely with rice and sweet steamed carrots.

Indonesian Chicken

• 1 bunch of green onions – minced
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1 lime
• 1 orange
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (add 1/4 if you don’t like it too spicy)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 4 medium sized boneless skinless chicken breast – cut in cubes
• 1 tsp cornstarch

1. Brown green onion in a little bit of oil, add garlic and saute till tender. About 2 minutes.

2. Zest the lime and orange into a bowl, squeeze juice from lime and add to bowl. Add soy sauce, honey, red pepper, cumin, and coriander to bowl. Toss chicken cubes with the spice mixture and marinate covered in the fridge at least 15 minutes. Juice the orange and put in a separate bowl. Mix cornstarch in with orange juice.

3. After marinating satue chicken in sauce till done. Add orange juice/cornstarch mixture and cook till sauce thickens slightly. Enjoy!

Note: Make sure the oranges/limes you use for the juice are sweet or you’ll end up with bitter chicken!
