Don's Spicy Orange Chicken

The Sauce

• Sunbird Spicy Orange Beef mix
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 Tbps soy sauce (low sodium soy sauce works well)
• You may also add a dash of orange extract or orange juice for flavor, but don't go overboard with it.

The Rest

• 1 medium Onion cut in wedges
• 1 small red bell pepper cut in chunks
• 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1. Blend seasoning, sugar, soy sauce and water. Set mix aside.
2. Heat a dash of oil in wok or deep skillet.
3. Add bell pepper and onion and stir fry until tender. Set vegetables aside.
4. Allow wok to heat again with another dash of oil.
5. Add chicken and stir fry until fully cooked. If your wok is not very large, you may have to cook the chicken in 2 or 3 batches.
6. Add peppers and onions to the chicken.
7. Gently stir in sauce until chicken and vegetables are thoroughly covered and until sauce becomes thick.
8. Serve over steamed rice.

NOTE: The recipe on the back of the Sunbird Spicy Orange Beef mix is also good but calls for beef (obviously) and pre-coating the beef with corn starch. You can also use the corn starch method with the chicken if you like a little crunchiness. All three ways are actually very good.
