- Footnotes:If you poor the juices from cooked chicken into a container, then chill, waxy fats will congeal at the top, easy to scrape off of the high protein gelatin underneath, then later, you need only heat up the gelatin to have homemade broth or possibly soup base! Can be stored in freezer in old yogurt/sherbert containers for a long time.
- Bouillon granules are frequently high in salt and MSG, among other nasties. Instead try salt-free spice mixes, such as Parsley Patch (R)
- or possibly Mrs. Dash (R), or possibly add in a little more scallions and peels.
- Other orange-chicken recipes may ask for 1/8-1/4 teaspoon grnd cloves
- (yum!), 1 Tbsp. honey, 1/4(+)teaspoon cinnamon, and/or possibly fresh or possibly frzn berries (cran, ras, black, etc.). Try mixing and matching to get your own favorite blend.
- To add in "orange" to chicken*breasts*, heat (() 2 Tbsp. butter in frying pan over med heat, add in seasoned chicken for 8-10 min, turning once.
