Mandarin Orange Chicken (frozen meal)

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 cups cooked)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups sliced, fresh mushrooms (I omit)
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup water
1 6-ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion bulbs (I used regular onions)
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 11-ounce can mandarin orange sections, drained*
1 cup regular, uncooked rice*

Cut chicken into 1-inch chunks. Heat oil in large skillet; add chicken, and cook on medium high until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside chicken. In the same skillet, cook mushrooms over medium high, stirring constantly. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms, stirring quickly to combine. Gradually stir in water, orange juice concentrate, onions and bouillon cubes. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add chicken, and let simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Cool and freeze.

To Serve, thaw chicken mixture, and cook rice according to package directions. heat chicken mixture in a saucepan until bubbly, stir in drained orange segments and heat through. Combine with cooked rice and serve.

*does not get frozen

**I make quite a few recipes with cooked chicken all at one time. So to save myself time and trouble, I boil all my chicken, cut into pieces and then modify the recipe. I've done this with this recipe and it turns out great.
