This is a great recipe to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover roasted chicken and it was delicious. The sauce is so flavorful and the vegetables add a nice crunch.

I'm not usually a fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed this dish. The orange flavor balances out the ginger perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is a great recipe for a healthy and flavorful meal. The chicken is lean and the vegetables are packed with nutrients. I like to serve it with brown rice for a complete meal.
