Spicy Orange Chicken

Have u ever had those days that u have NO IDEA what to make for dinner?! That was me yesterday and this is what I came up with.

Its funny that 9months ago, I had no idea how to cook. We've been fortunate to have dined in the finest restaurant across the states so, we know what we like, just didn't know how to execute. Little did I know, its as easy as spices! Once I learned how to use spices in relation to different types of cuisine, it was as easy as 1-2-3.

Serves: 4

3 - Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

1 - Egg

1/2 c - Orange Juice

1/2 c - Soy Sauce (Low Sodium)

1/5 c - Sriracha HOT Chili Sauce (aka Asian Rooster Sauce)

1/2 c - Butter, melted (I can't Believe Its Not Butter)

1 c - Flour

2 - Storage Bags, Large

1/2 c - Chicken Bouillon

1 c - Water

pinch- Salt

pinch- Pepper

pinch- Garlic

pinch - Chili Flakes, Red

pinch - Parsley Flakes, Dried

pinch - Sesame Seed

2c - Rice, white long grain

1- Rice Cooker

1- Pan, Large/Wide

1- Sauce Pan

1- Mixing Bowl

Step 1: Place chicken breast to a large-wide pan, fill w/water.

Add EVOO, Salt, Pepper, Galic, Parsley, 1/5 c Chicken Bouillon then boil at high heat.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl add 1 egg, orange juice, soy sauce, "rooser" chili sauce, melted butter, and get to mixing. Pour mix into a large storage bag and place in the fridge. Get your 2nd storage bag and add flour, then put aside.

Step 3: Once chicken is poached/cooked, drain water, cut chicken into cubes, then grab the storage bag mix from the regridgerator and dump chicken in. Shake the bas so that it mixes well, and all the flavors marry with the chicken.... Then, pour the chicken mix into the storage bag w/flour. This dust a light coat of flower onto the marinated chicken.

Step 4: Re-use the same pan in which you poached the chicken and heat EVOO on high heat. Once pan is hot, add chicken & sear. *Remember chicken is already cooked* so we just want to brown the flower and marinade. Once chicken is browned, it'll need to rest, long enough to make your sauce and start the rice.

Step 5: Add rice to rice cooker along with 2 cups of water - and that's it 4 the rice! Now, get a small sauce pan heat EVOO, melt 1 spoon of butter (ICBINB), wisk in 1/2 cup of flower, 1 cup of water, chicken boullion, orange juice, soy sauce, 1 "squirt" of "Rooster" chili sauce, 3 shakes of red chili flakes, salt, pepper, parsley. Once you have gotten all the lumps out, your sauce is ready.

Plating: Presintation is everything, so make it pretty!

1st layer will be your rice.

2nd layer is the chicken

3rd layer is the spicy orange sauce

4th layer is seasame seed & parsley and your done!

Tip: If your sauce is too spicy, just add more orange juice, and/or water, and/or soy sauce.

Rice- If you don't have a rice cooker, you must run out and purchase one, like now =). Its the greatest invention, next to sliced bread.
