You can make an easy and healthy Chinese orange chicken stir fry. This Chinese orange chicken recipe has all the flavor without deep frying....a healthier choice. Served with rice and steamed broccoli.
I don't know about you but when I go to a Chinese restaurant or buffet I usually get the orange chicken. Of course I love chicken but, orange and chicken go well together. This recipe is a healthier version and I make this quite often. I hope you enjoy. VIDEO RECIPE below.
