Invented this for dinner tonight and thought I would share. Hubby and I both loved it.....very yummy!

Serves 4 (or 2 with extra for lunch leftovers)

2 oranges
1/2 cup honey
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp lemon pepper

2 large skinless boneless chicken breast
1/2 of a fresh pineapple ( chunky chopped)
1 red bell pepper (chunky chopped)
1 green bell pepper ( chunky chopped)
1 orange bell pepper ( chunky chopped)
2 tbsp corn starch
2 cups cooked rice (your fav, I use white whole grain)

Juice the oranges into a bowl (you should have about 1/2- 3/4 of a cup of fresh juice) and use about 2 tsp fresh orange zest from the rind. Add the next 5 ingredients. Whisk to combine.

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of wax paper and pound until about 1" thick. Drizzle large skillet with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add chicken breast to skillet and cook about 4 minutes on one side, flip, cook 2 more minutes.
Put all of the peppers & pineapple around the chicken, pour the sauce on top, stiring to coat everything in the pan. Put a lid on it and let it simmer over medium/low heat, while you make the rice, until chicken is cooked through and peppers are tender but not soft (about 20 minutes).

Scoot all the veggies & chicken to 1 side of the pan. Mix the cornstarch with a little water until smooth and add to the juices in the pan to make it a thicker sauce. (you can use a little more or less to get the sauce as thick or thin as ya like)

Stir to coat the veggies & chicken. Serve with rice! Yummy!!!!
