Juicy Orange Chicken Recipe

 

   Serving Size:
1 chicken portion is 1.5 oz meat/ meat alternate and 1/4 cup vegetable serving for 3 - 5 year old at lunch/supper

 

   Yield:
6 chicken portions

 

 

Ingredients:

1 lb skinned chicken thighs
3 cups sliced round carrot(s)
1 cup orange juice
2 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce

Directions:
Cut chicken into 6 equal portions. Place chicken thighs in a skillet or pan just large enough to hold them comfortably without crowding. Sprinkle in the sliced carrots. Pour in the orange juice and soy sauce and shake the pan a few times to distribute the liquid. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and raise the heat to high; cook for 7 minutes, shaking the pan a few times to move the chicken and vegetables and prevent sticking. The sauce should be thick and syrupy. Serve when cool enough to eat.
