HONEY, YOU HAVE A WAY WITH CHICKEN

This honey, that is.... Chicken Honey Nut Stir Fry

1 lb. boneless chicken breasts
3/4 cup orange juice
1/3 cup honey
3 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
2 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
2 large carrots, diagonally cut
2 stalks celery, diagonally cut
1/2 cup cashews or peanuts
Hot rice
Cut chicken into thin strips and set aside. In a small bowl, combine orange juice, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, and ginger. Mix well. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and celery, stir-fry about 3 minutes or until crisp tender. Remove vegetables and set aside. Pour remaining oil into skillet. Add chicken, stir-fry about 4 minutes. Return vegetables to skillet; add sauce mixture and nuts. Cook and stir over medium heat until sauce is thickened. Serve over hot rice.



I received this box of tea bags from a friend and it is very good tea. Isn't that little leaf the cutest thing?!



When I found out that the small trays to use with the bags could be ordered, I just had to have some! I think they are really neat....I love to use them!



Oh, and my fortune was "You will soon be honored by someone you respect" :)
