Two in one chicken toss up

So here I am home alone and desperate to eat something out of the ordinary. Now I am a lazy cook so the moment I see too many ingredients I run a mile. A peek into the fridge and kitchen and I find chicken,capsicum, plenty of Chinese sauces and some orange and plenty of garlic. I really want to eat some middle eastern stuff like chicken with some apricots or peaches but for the life of me it's impossible to find a suitable recipe. So I decide to mix east and west....yes yes I know all about never the twain shall meet and all that but I decide to plunge in . After all it's only me who has to eat the stuff.

So here is what I did. I mixed the recipe for chicken in orange sauce with some Chinese twist and this is what I got and it doesn't taste too bad and it was quick and I also got a two in one recipe.

Chicken in orange and soy with garlic

Chicken-250 gms (medium pieces with bone)

Capsicum-1

Onion-1

Juice of one orange and zest

Sunflower oil

Crushed garlic-4

Cornflour for dusting

Honey-1 tsp

Salt and pepper

Paprika-2tsps

Soy sauce (dark)-1 tbs

Mix orange juice,zest,honey,paprika,salt and pepper,add soy sauce and crushed garlic. Put chicken pieces into this marinade and leave aside for an hour. Heat oil to smoking point. Dust chicken pieces with corn flour and drop into hot oil (shallow fry I use only about three tbs of oil). When the chicken takes on a nice caramelised colour take them out and keep in bowl. Into the oil add onion and capsicum and toss for two minutes till the onions ar transparent. Put chicken back with the onion and capsicum and cook covered for ten minutes. Then pour the reserved marinade and toss to coat all the pieces and do so for another five minutes or till the chicken is cooked through. Remove from wok and into the remaining juices add cooked rice and toss. Now I have a chicken dish and a flavoured rice. I am eating it with an Italian style tomato,basil and cheese with a splash of balsamic vinegar and that is dinner all done in under forty five minutes.
