Chinese Orange Chicken Stir Fry ~ Healthier Version

in #food6 years ago

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.

Thanks for sharing your recipe!

It looks delicious, and it gets better when it comes from another culture. I always like to save recipes and try them. I invite you to see my recipe for Chilis with cheese and nachos.

Thanks for the recipe. Looks so tasty!

Thank you for sharing! Orange chicken is one of my faves but I always feel guilty after eating it because i just know it's loaded with sugar! Your version looks guilt free to me though!
