Recipe by morganfam7

This recipe is what I ended up making after eating Panda Express's Orange Chicken. I started with Recipe #103215, but I didn't want to batter and fry the chicken. Some of the measurements may not be exact because I wasn't measuring everything. We like lots of sauce, so you can play with the amounts on the sauce. It's quick and easy with simple clean up (mixed in the one pan). I hope you enjoy!
