1/4 teaspoon sesame seed oil

1/2 teaspoon salt


1 pound chicken breast tenders, cut into 1-inch chunks

1/2 cup cornstarch


Sauce:

3/4 cup orange juice

1 teaspoon orange zest

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

5 teaspoons Splenda granular

Marinade: In a medium bowl combine orange juice, orange

coat. Allow to marinate for 25-30 minutes.


Sauce: In a small saucepan combine orange juice, orange
zest, chicken broth, Splenda,  honey, soy sauce, oil, garlic, and apple
cider vinegar. Bring to a boil; lower heat to a simmer and cook until
liquid is reduced by 1/4. Season with salt to taste. Stir the 2
teaspoons cornstarch with a small amount of cold water and add to the
sauce. Bring back to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until
thickened. Set aside, but keep warm.


In a large bowl or ziplock bag add the 1/2 cup of cornstarch. Drain
the chicken and toss with the cornstarch, shaking off excess. In a large
skillet heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high. Add chicken
and cook until golden and meat is cooked through. Gently toss cooked
chicken with the sauce and serve. Makes eight WLS or four regular
