Mandarin Chicken


I got this recipe from Erin a couple of years ago. It is tangy and delish...and the ingredients are ones that I always have on hand. Hope you enjoy!


Mandarin Chicken
6 chicken breasts
½ c. flour
Salt & pepper
Garlic salt
4 eggs
½ c. water with 1 chicken bouillon cube (I use chicken base)
¼ c. ketchup
1 Tb Worcestershire sauce
¾ c. sugar
½ c. vinegar
Mandarin oranges
Slivered almondsMix flour with a little salt and pepper and garlic salt. Put in paper bag. Beat eggs; dip chicken in eggs then in flour. Brown on both sides. Put in dripper pan. Mix chicken bouillon, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil and pour over chicken. Bake uncovered at 350° for 1 hour. Spoon sauce during cooking. When done put chicken on platter and put Mandarin oranges and almonds over top of chicken then pour sauce over the whole thing.

  4. Okay, I know I'm skipping back a bit, but I was looking for a recipe to use some chicken breasts last night, and I made this Mandarin Chicken. Added some sliced green onions for color, and served it over rice. It was gorgeous AND tasty! I'm so glad I found your fun blog...you girls cook just like I do. Thanks for the super easy recipe!

  5. I made this tonight. I was really tasty! A couple things I'd suggest... the recipe is a little confusing. You say to brown the chicken, but you don't say in what sort of pan, with oil, what heat... so I did mine in a large saute pan at med-high heat with a Tbs of olive oil. Cooked about 3 min/side. Also, in your picture you have sliced almonds, not slivered. I think slivered would be too thick anyway.

    Next time I will cut my chicken into bite size pieces before I cook it. I would like the sauce all around each bite it was so yummmy! Also, putting all that chicken in a paper bag with the flour didn't work well for me. Next time I will just put the flour in a shallow dish and coat it that way after I dip it in the egg.

    It was so delicious... the recipe was just confusing.

    Thanks!
