Ingredients




3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 teaspoon Lemon-Orange Horseradish
1 orange, squeezed
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 tablespoons honey
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper
8 chicken tights, or, 4 whole breasts, separated and trimmed
Olive oil

Preparation

1 Marinate: in a large bowl mix the mayonnaise, Lemon-Orange Horseradish, juice from the orange, grated ginger, honey and salt and pepper. Blend well and add the chicken insuring that each piece of chicken is nicely cover with the marinate. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. 2 In a large skillet over medium high heat add the oil. When hot, but not smoking, remove the chicken from the bowl and shake off any excess sauce. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook turning occasionally. Because of the honey the chicken will be a bit sticky, add some of the marinate to the skillet.

About

During my shopping expedition at AJ’s I could not resist buying asparagus and fresh ginger.  I did not have a recipe in mind, but could not pass them up.
Last night I wanted to have some chicken with my new Lemon-Orange Horseradish.  Marinate was the only thing that came to mind.  Refrigerator door open ingredients started to come out. 
I had fun and the vote I received from my little guy was:” Mom… I really like this recipe and I can get used to this new flavor.”  Could not help but to hug him and kiss him. 
My recipe for the stir fried is an adaptation from the fresh off the press “Fine Cooking” magazine. Not having all the ingredients in hand I had to make some  substitutions. 
A simple Jasmine white rice was the perfect to be served along.
