CHICKEN IN ORANGE SAUCE, THE
PERUVIAN STYLE
 
6 pieces chicken
2 strips bacon
1/4 sm. onion, chopped or shredded
1 tsp. paprika
Flour to cover chicken before frying
2-3 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
Bit of black pepper
1 tbsp. cornstarch
Orange juice from 2 fresh oranges
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 fresh red pepper
3 c. water

Soften the butter in a pan, add salt and pepper; then saute the chicken previously covered in flour.

In a separate pot, saute the bacon, the chopped or shredded onion and the paprika, the chicken already sauteed and 3 cups water. Cover it and let it cook at a low temperature.

In a small bowl, squeeze the fresh oranges, add 1/2 tsp. of sugar and the cornstarch to be diluted. Then add this preparation to the pot and let it cook for about 3 minutes.

You can serve with white rice, a piece of potato or vegetables like broccoli or peas. Decorate with parsley, and by pouring the cooked hot rice in a cup to give it a shape, you can get a more elegant effect. Serves 6 persons.
