Mandarin Orange Chicken

You won't mistake this for carry-out chinese Orange Chicken, but it IS pretty yummy.  All three of my fellas liked it a lot.  And there is definitely a calorie difference between this version and the yummy restaurant kind.   :)

Mandarin Orange Chicken
4 schwans chicken breasts
1.5 tbsp. olive oil

onion, sliced

green pepper, sliced

1 can HyVee Light Mandarin Oranges
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. ginger
2.5 tsp. garlic powder
2 tbsp. corn starch

Mix together in a bowl the mandarin oranges (including the juice), soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic powder.  Cut chicken into strips and saute in hot oil until halfway done.  Add in the onion and green pepper.  Pour the sauce over chicken and veggies and finish cooking through.  Finally, add corn starch mixed with about 1/3 cup water to pan to thicken sauce before serving.  Serve over brown rice (not included in calorie count).
