Submitted by HokiesMom

"From a Minute Rice recipe cut out of a magazine. I love the addition of orange juice to this stir fry and also using the brown rice. My kids really like this choice."

Couldn't have been better ~ Your recipe makes for a delicious chicken dinner, more or less complete within itself, although I did serve a small salad with it! I like serving chicken this way, & the sauce was especially flavorful! All that, along with a couple servings of veggies right in there & we were comfortably set! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
