Spicy Orange chicken is one of my favorite Chinese takeouts. This is a light version of full of flavor, but not full of sugar. Make your favorite Chinese takeout at home guarantee quality materials. There are less fat and sugar, and you could eat more without feeling guilty. For this recipe, I added ginger and garlic for extra flavor. Sharp citrus flavor pairs beautifully with dried chili peppers. You can add as many peppers as you want until you get the desired heat level. Have a toddler, I have to keep things in the mild to medium heat level. Serve this chicken with broccoli for additional nutrients. You can easily Cook the broccoli in sauce by adding in the last few minutes of cooking. In this way, the broccoli will keep its current crisis. Serve with white rice or brown.
