You can find the recipe here. The title says it all -- make this, you won't be disappointed.
We had this for dinner tonight and it really is better then takeout! It tastes just like orange chicken from your favorite Chinese restaurant -- only fresher. A little lighter even, since you make it with all chicken breast and no "mystery meat". However, dinner was an hour late because I had no clue what I was doing frying the chicken. First the oil was too hot, then it wasn't hot enough, but I got it all worked out before I messed up too many pieces of chicken. While I was cooking the chicken, I threw some Basmati rice in the rice cooker. Rice cooker rice really is the best -- it comes out moist and fluffy every time. The sauce is the best part though, fresh ginger and garlic, a little orange juice, and brown sugar for the perfect amount of sweetness...YUM! The rice and sauce freeze really well so I made a double batch and froze half. The chicken really doesn't take that long once you know what you're doing, so next time I make it it should take less then half the time.
