My kids love orange chicken! Even my self proclaimed 10 year-old vegetarian will take a night off for the sweet and spicy chicken. I surfed the internet for an easy recipe and every one I tried has not compared to take-out, or it took forever to make. So…I created my own that was super fast. I also took a short cut and bought precooked organic chicken strips that I threw in the oven while I zapped up the orange sauce. Because… When I want orange chicken… I want it now. Seriously…now!
