Chinese Zesty Orange Chicken

Features:

    This was filling, I will grant that. But the sauce was very runny, and the chicken didn't absorb the flavors of the fruit or garlic. It did suck up the pepper flavor, though. All in all, it was okay, but I don't think I'll make it again.

    Chinese Zesty Orange Chicken, A homemade swap for your standard Chinese restaurant’s orange chicken based loosely off of a similar lemon chicken swap found in the fall 2007 Kraft Food and Family magazine. I’ve made a version before that’s closer to the sweet glazed kind, but this is a more zesty spin in order to keep the calories low. Very diet friendly., This was filling, I will grant that.
