Continuing in my week long exploration of Chinese food I wanted something on the lighter side and this orange chicken seemed appropriate given all of the different varieties of oranges that have been available in grocery stores recently. This orange chicken has a fairly light lightly flavoured sauce that allows the star of the show, you guessed it, the oranges, to come through. Normally this dish would be made with chicken that has been battered and fried in oil until crispy but to keep it healthier I went with simple sauteed chicken which I tend to prefer anyways. Once again this chicken dish is all about the meat and it is commonly served with other vegetable dishes but you could easily toss in a few vegetables and stir fry them along the way. I have to say that the orange chicken was a really nice way to brighten up a cold and gloomy winter day!
