1. Remove peel and white membrane from 1 of the oranges. Section orange; set aside. Squeeze enough juice from the remaining orange to measure 1/3 cup; set aside. In a 4-quart Dutch oven, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat. Add spinach; cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or just until slightly wilted, stirring occasionally. Drain and transfer to 4 serving dishes or a serving platter. Cover and keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the 1/3 cup orange juice, the soy sauce, honey, ginger, cornstarch, and crushed red pepper. Set aside.
3. Sprinkle chicken with salt and black pepper. Wipe out Dutch oven with a paper towel. In Dutch oven, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add chicken; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir orange juice mixture; add to chicken in Dutch oven. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more.
4. To serve, arrange orange sections on top of spinach. Spoon chicken mixture over oranges and spinach. Makes 4 servings.

Loved it! My husband loved it! Seemed like a gourmet meal. So delicious and nutritious. We used all the red pepper called for and didn't find it too spicy. Next time I'll double the sauce because I served this with rice and we wanted to put some sauce on the rice..

2/28/2011 12:30:49 PM Report AbuseIs there a reason for not using prepared,low acid orange juice instead of squeezing fresh oranges? How much difference is there in sugar content and I'm certain Asian restaurants that feature Orange Chicken don't waste time with an employee at the squeeze machine.
2/13/2011 12:21:20 PM Report AbuseTo make this dish more "gentle" omit the crushed red pepper and not so much ginger. My father-in-law loved this dish.
