Ingredients

My cooking method is by "eye and known taste". So I do not have strict amounts in this part. The estimated amounts are listed below in this ingredient section. Feel free to adjust.

-Boneless Chicken, any amt.

-Cashews, roasted, salted or not, any amt. Buy from bulk what you need.

-Fresh Chili Pepper, hot or mild, your choice, diced fine, any amt.

-Orange juice, enough to make a sauce.

-Mandarin Oranges.

-Craisins.

-S&P, I use Crazy Janes Salt.

-Rice. Use the GR Sites No More Boring Rice Recipe. Or cook regular rice, any method, stove, mic, etc. and add Ground Ginger and butter to taste.

FEEL FREE TO LEAVE OUT THE PEPPER OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU DON'T CARE FOR, AND SUBSTITUTE SOMETHING ELSE. IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR TASTE. BUT, SWEET SPICY, TANGY AND SALTY ARE GOOD!

I made this w/ about 1lb of chicken breasts, boneless. I used about 1/2 Cup of Cashews, about 1/2 tsp of finely chopped hot pepper, 1 small can of mandarin oranges, about 1/2 C orange juice, about 1/4 C of Craisins. For time and ease I used a "rice cup", nuked for 1 min, and added ground ginger and butter. I would have preferred the real thing,"No more Boring Rice".

You can easily figure what you need for the servings you will make and adjust the amounts to your taste.
