Recipe Added:  11/5/2011
3 B & S chicken breasts, cubed
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp oil or melted butter
Sauce:
1 1/2 cups + 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp orange juice
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp orange zest
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp finely minced ginger
1 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp green onion
3 Tbsp cornstarch
Heat oven to 350. In a shallow dish combine flour, garlic powder and pepper. Dip chicken in flour to coat evenly. Pour oil in a shallow baking dish. Arrange chicken in pan in a single layer and bake uncovered 30 minutes.

In a medium saucepan combine 1 1/2 cups water, orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, orange zest and whisk over medium heat for a few minutes. Stir in brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and green onion and let it come to a boil. Combine cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and let it dissolve then add to sauce until thickened.

After chicken has baked 30 minutes, turn each piece over and pour 1/2 sauce mixture evenly over chicken. Bake 30-40 minutes more, basting frequently. Serve chicken over rice with extra sauce on the side.
