CHINESE-STYLE ORANGE-ALMOND CHICKEN
I have posted this delicious-sounding way to cook chicken - which you can have on the table in forty minutes - in response to a Forum Request for a recipe for Chinese-style Orange Chicken. I have adapted it from Lisa Pettit's recipe in Prevention Healthy Cooking's 'Eat Up, Slim Down: Tried-and-true recipes and tips from real weight-loss winners' by Jane Kirby and David Joachim. Commenting on this recipe, Lisa says "When I'm craving Chinese-style sweet-and-sour chicken but don't want the calories or fat, I turn to this recipe". If you want to increase the orange flavour, substitute some of the soy sauce for orange juice: perhaps half soy sauce and half orange juice. This is a combination that I know works well in my Veal With Orange Sauce recipe #117835.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 F degrees. Ten minutes before you are ready to cook the chicken, put a baking sheet in the oven to pre-heat.
- Finely zest the orange and set the zest aside. Cut the top and bottom off of the orange, sit the orange on one end on a cutting board and cut the entire peel and pith off by cutting downward following the shape of the fruit. Then, using a paring knife, remove each section of orange from the membrane. Set the orange sections aside.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy. In a large shallow bowl or on a plate, combine the orange zest, almonds, and 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Put the flour on a large plate.
- Remove the pre-heated baking sheet from the oven and spray with cooking spray.
- Dip the chicken breasts, one at a time, first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg white, and then coat with the almond mixture and place on the baking sheet. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray. Bake for 6 minutes, turn and bake for 6 minutes more, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden.
- While the chicken is cooking, combine the fennel, arugula and orange sections in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
- To serve, place one large or two small chicken cutlets on each plate and top with a mound of the salad.

CHICKEN IN ORANGE AND ALMOND SAUCE
From an old vintage cookbook I picked up at a charity shop. This calls for chicken pieces but I think boneless breasts would work well with this. It did not give amounts for salt, pepper and paprika, so season to your taste.

Steps:
- Heat a large fry pan over medium heat until hot. Add the almonds and cook, stirring around every so often, until lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat the butter.
- Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt, pepper and paprika.
- Fry the chicken until golden brown all over.
- Cover the pan, reduce the heat and cook gently for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is tender.
- While the chicken is cooking, squeeze the juice from two oranges, remove the skin and pith from the third and cut into segments.
- When the chicken is done, remove and arrange on a hot serving dish.
- Pour out any excess butter and add the orange juice and sugar. Stir well then allow to boil rapidly for 2-3 minutes. (NOTE: pouring out the excess butter is what the recipe says. I think leaving it in would give more flavor and character to the sauce).
- Adjust the seasoning and pour the sauce over the chicken.
- Garnish with the orange segments and sprinkle over the almonds. Serve with cooked rice.
CROCK POT ORANGE SESAME CHICKEN WITH TOASTED ALMONDS
This is fantastic chicken! My DH says it's some of the best chicken he's ever had. It is loosely based on an old crock pot recipe, but updated by removing a lot of grease (the original recipe has you add the oil that you fry the chicken in into the crock pot...yuck!), using lower fat sour cream, and adding real Asian flavors to it. Cook time is crock pot time.

Steps:
- Rinse chicken and pat dry.
- Mix sesame seeds, salt, flour, and pepper together in a bowl.
- Coat the chicken with the flour mixture and fry in the oil in a large skillet, preheated over medium-high heat.
- Fry to a nice, medium brown color on both sides.
- Depending on how much chicken you have, you may need to do more than one batch.
- Don't overcrowd the chicken!
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place in a large crock pot.
- In a small bowl, mix onion, wine (or water or broth), and bouillon granules (if using).
- Pour over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low, 5-7 hours.
- Turn on high and remove chicken, keeping all the juices in the crock pot.
- OPTIONAL- at this point I like to heat the oven to 450 and 'crisp up' the chicken a bit on a cookie sheet, be extra careful not to burn it if you decide to do this!
- Whisk the cornstarch and water together and stir into the crock pot.
- Then add all of the sauce ingredients EXCEPT sour cream and cook on high for 15 minutes.
- Whisk the sour cream into the sauce and serve over rice (I like Basmati) with the chicken.
