Leftover Chicken with Oranges and Herbs

Orange Chicken with Herbs

Cut orange in half and hollow it out as best as you can. Trim pulp so no white pith is showing. Set aside with accumulated juice.

½ individual cup of Mandarin orange sections, reserving liquid
1 c cooked diced chicken
salt and pepper to taste
¼ - ½ tsp thyme
¼ tsp crushed rosemary
2 T mayonnaise (or to taste)

Mix spices into may and add chicken and half of orange slices (the Mandarin and the pieces from the orange shell) Mix well. Add more oranges as you’d like. Spoon into orange half, drizzle with a bit of juice to keep moist and top with a pretty orange piece.
