Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp. ginger
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. red pepper
  • 1 Lime
  • 1 tbsp. oil
  • 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup sliced sweet onion
  • 2 large cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp. chili sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. allspice
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 2 oz. of fresh mint

Step1
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place the chicken in a bowl and add the ginger, paprika and red pepper. Cut the zest from one whole lime and add to the bowl. Place the chicken in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
Step2
In a hot skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the sliced onions, yellow bell pepper and garlic. Fry the vegetables until just al dente (3 minutes) and remove from the heat. Store the cooked vegetable on a plate until final preparation.
Step3
Heat the skillet again over medium high heat this time. Add the chicken and fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the juice of one lime, the juice of one orange, 2 tsp orange zest, the chili sauce, allspice and nutmeg. When the liquid comes to a boil, add back the vegetables and stir in the cornstarch.
Step4
Heat for another 2 to 3 minutes while the sauce thickens. At the last minute, add the fresh mint and serve over rice.

Tips & Warnings

  • Feel free to switch out the limes and oranges with other citrus.
  • Larger chicken cuts can be used, but increase the cooking time with chicken size.
