Chicken:
- 2 pounds boneless (skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2" cubes)
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
For Sauce:
- 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions
- Heat oven to 350. In a shallow dish combine the flour, garlic powder and pepper. Dip each piece of chicken in flour mixture and coat evenly.
- Pour melted butter in a shallow baking dish, large enough to accommodate chicken in a single layer. Arrange chicken in pan and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine water, orange juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, orange zest and whisk over medium heat for a few minutes. Then stir in brown sugar, ginger, and garlic and let it come to a boil. With a whisk combine cornstarch with water. Whisk until dissolved and add it to the sauce until thickened.
- After chicken has baked the 30 minutes, turn each piece over and pour 1/2 sauce mixture evenly over chicken. Bake another 30 to 40 minutes. Bast occasionally.
- Serve chicken over rice with extra sauce on the side.
