1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp ground mustard
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tbsp orange marmalade
1 tbsp soy sauce

3 – Place chicken on serving plate; cover to keep warm. Discard any juices left in the skillet.

4 – To make the glaze, pour orange mixture into skillet. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until glaze is thickened. Pour over chicken.

  1. ooo! Thank you! I will try this sometime soon and let you know how it goes. Oh, btw, I have new cat pics for you. I have to edit them, and they’re at home (and I’m in the lab right now) but perhaps tonight I can get to them.
