    I just made this for my family. They loved it. I did use the half soy sauce, half orange juice idea and it was great. I hope this recipe is also in the Gluten Free section. Because it is and there aren't enough recipes there. You would just need to make sure the soy sauce was gluten free. Next time we will try it with additional veggies. Thank You for the Great recipe

    Chinese-Style Orange-Almond Chicken, I have posted this delicious-sounding way to cook chicken which you can have on the table in forty minutes – in response to a Forum Request for a recipe for Chinese-style Orange Chicken. I have adapted it from Lisa Pettits recipe in Prevention Healthy Cooking’s ‘Eat Up, Slim Down: Tried-and-true recipes and tips from real weight-loss winners’ by Jane Kirby and David Joachim. Commenting on this recipe, Lisa says When Im craving Chinese-style sweet-and-sour chicken but dont want the calories or fat, I turn to this recipe. If you want to increase the orange flavour, substitute some of the soy sauce for orange juice: perhaps half soy sauce and half orange juice. This is a combination that I know works well in my Veal With Orange Sauce recipe #117835., I just made this for my family. They loved it. I did use the half soy sauce, half orange juice idea and it was great. I hope this recipe is also in the Gluten Free section. Because it is and there aren’t enough recipes there. You would just need to make sure the soy sauce was gluten free. Next time we will try it with additional veggies. Thank You for the Great recipe, Love Love Loved it!!! It was simple and delicious! I also added peppers red and orange and threw some fried and seasoned zuccini on top!! Yum!!!
