FOR ORANGE SAUCE

• In a medium pot, add orange juice, sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, tamari sauce, chili flakes. Heat for 3 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with water to form a paste. Add to orange sauce and whisk together.
• Continue to cook 5 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken. Once thickened, remove from heat. Add orange zest.

FOR CHICKEN

• Place flour and cornstarch in a shallow dish and add a pinch of salt. Stir.
• Whisk eggs in a separate dish.
• Dip chicken pieces into egg mixture. Then dip chicken in flour mixture. Place on plate.
• Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a heavy bottomed pan over med-high heat. Bring oil to 350 F.
• Working in batches, cook several pieces at a time. Cook 2-3 minutes, turning often until golden brown.
• Place chicken on paper-towel lined plate to absorb extra oil. Repeat.
• Toss chicken pieces with sauce in a large bowl.
• Serve with garnish of green onions

• Place the chicken slices in a medium bowl. Add the marinade ingredients and mix thoroughly. Let chicken marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the noodles. Cook until al-dente, drain and rinse with cool water. Toss with sesame oil. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, soften Shiitake mushrooms in a bowl of warm water, and prep all your vegetables for the chow mein.
• Heat a large sauté pan(s) or wok over medium-high heat. Add half of the oil. Carefully place chicken pieces in pan, spreading them out in a single layer if possible. Cook without stirring for a minute, to give them a chance to form a "crust", then stir-fry until chicken is done, about an additional 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
• To the same pan add the remaining oil. Add the ginger and garlic, cooking for a minute or less, just until garlic is golden.
• Add all the vegetables to the wok and stir-fry for a minute or two. Add the cooked reserved chicken, mixing well to combine. Stir-fry for several minutes more, then add the cooked noodles. Add soy sauce to taste and continue to stir-fry until noodles are hot, about an additional 5 minutes.

• Prepare grill (or grill pan) for cooking. Coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Grill chicken 4-5 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the salt and the pasta. Cook until al dente, about 12 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain and return pasta to warm pot.
• To a medium sauté pan, add all the butter, 2/3 of the cream, and the salt. Turn heat to medium and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until cream thickens up a bit.
• Add the sauce to the pasta pot and turn heat on to low. Toss the pasta, bringing it up and around from the bottom of the pan until all the pasta is coated.
• Add the remaining cream, grated Parmesan cheese, freshly ground pepper, and the nutmeg. Toss again and taste and correct for salt. Slice the chicken breast on the diagonal and place on pasta. Garnish with parsley if desired, and serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese on the side.
