Slightly Spicy Orange-Lime Glazed Chicken

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

4 Chicken Breasts, pounded flat to a 1/4-1/2 an inch thick

1 c. All-Purpose Flour

1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper

1 tsp. Salt

3/4 tsp. Pepper

2 Eggs

1/3 c. Canola Oil

For the Glaze:

1 3/4 c. Orange Juice

1/4 c. Lime juice

dash of Soy Sauce

dash of Sesame Oil

2 tsp. Cornstarch 

1/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper

pinch of Salt

pinch of Pepper

Directions:

On a plate, mix together the flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. In a bowl whisk up the eggs. In a large non-stick skillet pan, over a medium heat, pour in the canola oil. While you wait for it to heat up, bread the chicken, coating in the flour mixture first, then the egg, and then the flour again. Once breaded, put into the hot oil and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown, crispy, and cooked all the way through. 

Meanwhile, in a small non-stick skilled pan, over a medium heat, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Let it simmer/boil and reduce to about half. Then, in a small bowl, put 2 tsp. of cornstarch along with 2 tsp. of the orange-lime mixture and stir together. Then add to the orange-lime mixture. Turn the heat down to medium/low and let thicken till it becomes a good thick glaze for coating. Then add the crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper and mix together. Turn off the heat.

When the chicken is done cooking, add each breast, one at a time, to the glaze and coat on each side. Serve on top of white rice and enjoy! Serves 4
