ORANGE-FLAVORED CHICKEN, CHINESE STYLE
This is a great combination of flavors, orange, chicken and snow peas. The chicken isn't battered first so it's a little lighter than some other orange chicken recipes. Originally from a December 1980 Bon Apetit magazine in the R.S.V.P. Letters to the Editor section. The recipe was requested from Le De'lice restaurant in Whippany, New Jersey, owner/chef John Foy.
