SPICY ORANGE CHICKEN
My Spicy Orange Chicken has the same flavor profile as its take-out counterpart, Orange Chicken: the sweet orange, the spicy chilies, and the Asian condiments. I make this without oil, making something much lighter and very tasty.

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.
