Chicken breast, boneless, skinless: 1-1/3 lb
Vegetable or peanut oil: ¼ cup
Water chestnuts, sliced: 1 cup
Sweet & sour sauce: 2/3 cup
Red pepper, dry, crushed: ½ tsp

Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Cut the chicken breast into bite-size pieces, or short thin strips, and place in the marinade. Set aside for 30 minutes.

Place a wok or large skillet over high heat until hot. Add the oil and swirl to coat the sides. Add chicken and stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until the chicken becomes opaque.

Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the remaining oranges and green onions.
