Sultry Orange Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (about 12 oz total)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chipotles in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 4 oz. jar roasted red peppers (pimentos), drained and chopped
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cooking time: About 15 minutes
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and cumin. Pour chipotles in adobo sauce into a food processor or blender and puree them.
- Heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp. oil to pan and add chicken. When browned, about 2 minutes, flip chicken and add onion. Let brown about 3 minutes, then add orange juice. Add chipotles and stir, then add peppers.
- Reduce heat, cover, and let cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.
- Kid-friendly version: Omit the chipotles and double the recipe.
- How kids can help: Measure ingredients.
- Leftover chipotles will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 months; use to season tacos or burritos.
- (Bonus: With a few tweaks, they make easy family-friendly meals too!)
