Spicy Orange Chicken


Ingredients:

2 tablespoons pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespooon seasoned salt
2 chicken breasts
4 tablespoons butter
1 (18 oz.) jar orange marmalade
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions:

Cut chicken into smaller chunks. 
In a large ziplock bag, combine salts and pepper. 
Add chicken and toss it to evenly coat. 
Melt the butter in a large skillet and add the chicken. 
Cook for 20 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.
Remove chicken from skillet, wipe it out with paper towels and add the marmalade and the cayenne.
Bring to a boil and heat for 3 minutes. 
Add the chicken back in and cook for 5 minutes. 
Turn the chicken so it's evenly coated with the glaze. 

Verdict:

Blah... neither one of us loved this dinner, and we'll probably never cook it again. I thought it tasted too much like oranges, and Scott said it was too much pepper. Also, they aren't spicy at all.. The picture in the recipe book (Rush Hour Recipes) looked great, but these were a big let down! For some reason it wasn't very filling either. We both had the munchies right after we finished dinner.. which doesn't usually happen for us! This is one to cross off in the cookbook and never make again. 

Rating:

Ashley: 0 belches
Scott: 1 grunt (because pepper was caught in his throat)
Payton: 10 wags (bad behavior after)
