Three Ingredient Orange Chicken Sauce


This is my version of a simple orange sauce recipe found online.



Three Ingredient Orange Chicken Sauce

4 T. Head Country Barbecue Sauce
4 T. Orange Marmalade
1- 1 ½ tsp. soy sauce
Juice of ½ an orange
Chicken Tenders
1 egg white, beaten
Corn Starch
Salt and Pepper

Combine equal amounts of barbecue sauce and marmalade.  Stir in Soy sauce.
Heat in microwave until hot.  Put in food processor and blend until smooth if you prefer not to have chunks of orange peel in the sauce.  Add in orange juice.

Cut chicken tenders into pieces.  Dip in egg white.
Place corn starch into a plastic bag.  Add chicken pieces and shake to coat.
Spritz with oil and cook in air fryer at 400° until lightly browned.
Toss with sauce and serve over rice.

I used one package of chicken tenders and this made plenty of sauce to coat the chicken after it was cooked.  By preparing 1 cup of dry rice I had enough for my dinner and the take out container for my lunch at the office.

Homemade Cauliflower Fried Rice

I've made this using Green Giant riced cauliflower when I'm in a hurry.  Today I had a huge head of cauliflower that I needed to use so I riced the cauliflower myself.  It's much less expensive if you have time and a food chopper to just make it yourself.

You can beat and egg and stir it in once the vegetables are almost done,  Adding minced ginger is good too.






Cauliflower Fried Rice
Cauliflower
I carrot, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
½ medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Frozen peas
Canned chicken breast, drained, reserve liquid
Sesame oil
Soy sauce
I egg, beaten (optional)
minced ginger (optional)
Separate cauliflower into florets and process in food
chopper until desired consistency. I used about 3 cups.

Heat oil in medium skillet.
Add carrot, celery, onion, frozen peas and garlic.
Stir fry until almost tender.

Add processed cauliflower, mix well.
Stir in liquid reserved from chicken.

Add soy sauce to taste.


Cook, stirring until vegetables are tender.

You can also beat an egg and add to mixture along with some
minced ginger root.
