Spicy Orange Chicken

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 C flour
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
3 T butter

Sauce:
3 T brown sugar
3 T vinegar
1 1/2 C orange juice
1.5 t. nutmeg
1.5 t. dried basil
1.5 small cans mandarin oranges.

Combine flour, salt and pepper in bag. Shake chicken pieces until coated. Brown on both sides in butter in skillet over medium heat. Drain off fat.

Combine sauce ingredients (1 1/2 times the recipe) and add to skillet. Cover and simmer ~30 minutes or until tender. For a “sophisticated touch” add drained mandarin oranges and heat about 5 mins.

*Note: cook chicken and sauce in covered skillet, but tip the cover a little to thicken sauce towards the end of cooking time.
