2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
½ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons vinegar
1½ cups orange juice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 can mandarin oranges, optional

Instructions:

1. Combine flour, salt and pepper in bag. Shake chicken pieces in flour until coated. Brown in butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
