Mandarin Orange Chicken

In a medium bowl, sprinkle chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour orange juice over chicken and toss with ¼ cup corn starch until coated evenly.

Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat and add chicken to the skillet. Cook chicken, turning frequently until all sides are brown and chicken is cooked thoroughly. Add peppers, onion and garlic and cook until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with soy sauce and hoisin sauce. Add mixture to the skillet with the mandarin oranges with juice, vinegar and sugar and stir until blended. Cook for an additional 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for taste if desired.

Serve with white rice or coconut rice.

Variation: substitute or add additional vegetables such as broccoli, snap peas, carrots if desired.
