Marcus and I made this for dinner tonight. It’s very, very delicious, but I don’t know the origin of the recipe. There are some in my family that are not to be shared with others (my dad’s spaghetti sauce recipe, for one. I’m not even sure he knows I have it), but if you remind me, I’ll call my mom and ask if I can post it. I believe this is something she (or her mother, probably) got from when she was living in Japan when she was about 13?

Basically, it’s chicken breast pieces cooked in a sweet(ish) sauce of garlic and the juice from canned mandarin oranges and pineapple preserves. It’s then garnished with the mandarin oranges and served over rice. Mmmmmm. It’s everything I like about “chinese” food, but it doesn’t make me sick!
