I tried this recipe hoping it would be an easier version of the popular Asian-American dish. I knew slacking off by using less ingredients would make for a less desirable dish but on a college budget I figured this would do. Turns out this recipe is nothing like the orange dishing I was hoping to resemble. My boyfriend described it as "chicken with orange juice on it." Although this was easy the overall dish was dry and not very appealing and it's nothing like the orange chicken I was looking for.

We eat chicken a lot around this house, & this dish is great! Enjoyed the JO & ginger combo! It was a winner served over brown rice! Thanks much for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed as a tagged bonus recipe for one of my invitees to AUS/NZ Recipe Swap #14, Mar 08]
