Orange Chicken

My husband loves Asian food. The first time I made this recipe he liked it but missed the thick sauciness found in many Asian dishes he enjoys. Once I changed the recipe to produce that desired sauce he decided he approves of this dish.
I appreciate how easily this dish comes together. In an effort to make dinner time easier I typically mix the sauce and cook the chicken earlier in the day. With that done there is very little left to do besides putting things together. Sounds great to me!
