** Hope you enjoy!! My Husband absolutely loved this meal. I served it with rice and mixed vegetables. So it will work as separate entres' or you can put the rice on the bottom and add the chicken and vegetables on top. However you eat it I hope you get lots of nice compliments!!
I love orange chicken, but I typically get mine at Panda Express. I'll have to give this a try! Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
