Orange Chicken - Meal in a jar

Once again the fabulous meal in a jar caught my eye! I just love them. 


Orange Chicken
Another clone of Panda Express.

2 lbs chicken
1 tablespoon ginger
1 teaspoon garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon rice wine
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons water
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup orange juice
zest of 1 orange
3 pint jars

Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and stir fry
Add all other ingredients in pan and bring to a light boil
Pour into jars distributing evenly
Add orange juice to fill line if needed

For pints process 75 minutes at 11 lbs pressure
Quarts would need 90 minutes.

When serving add cornstarch to sauce to thicken.
Serve over rice. 

Now I used fresh ginger (always), so add a bit more than called for in the recipe. And I also mixed boneless skinless breasts and thighs. And added a cup more OJ than the recipe called for. 

Processed at 15 pounds for 150 minutes.

But yummy!
