Sensational Sweet Orange Chicken
From chihuahua 16 years ago
- 45 minutes to make
- Serves 6
When I moved to a small town in Missouri 2 1/2 years ago, one of the things I missed most was Chinese food. Hard times forced the only Chinese Restaurant in town to close. Yearning Orange Chicken, I stumbled on the following recipe. Read more It's a healthier version than the traditional. I found it on Allrecipes and made it tonight. There are a couple of suggested additions to the original recipe I've included that made the dish superb. I like to consider myself a lady, but I practically inhaled my meal tonight it was so good.
