If by chance you have this cookbook and a chicken dish in there fits this description, please let me know. Thanks so much for any help. I've searched various recipe websites and couldn't find a recipe that fit, hope my memory about the cookbook is right so I can end the search. Rebekah.

Then remove the breasts from the pan when cooked and set aside. Place the onion in the saucepan or fryer and saute until wilted. Then add in the orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, water and parsley. Let the mixture cook a bit and then add in the soy sauce. When the mixture thickens, add in the ginger and orange peel. Return the breasts to the pan and cook until heated through. Serve each breast with a bit of the orange sauce. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika. Serves 4.

Among all the chicken dishes there are none that call for orange juice. Nothing under Soups and Stews either. I double checked the index under "chicken" and "organge" but nothing is listed.

But it doesn't sound right, too simple.

I guess it wasn't in that red cookbook which is probably why mom no longer has the recipe. It was probably just on a 3X5 card which got lost somewhere in our 25+ moves. Rebekah.
