1 voto | 7004 views


You bet…This skinny remake is fantasticly de-licious! It’s the most popular dish at Panda and the most fattening. I actually like my remake better since it’s much lighter, includes many vegetables and still has a lovely orange flavor. Best part…No guilt when you eat it! I did start with a bottle of their delicious orange chicken sauce but added some fresh orange juice to cut the calories. In addition, I’m cooking the chicken in a pan lightly coated with flour and cooked in a tiny amount of oil, instead of deep frying. This fabulous remake is served over healthy brown rice! One skinny serving including brown rice. 390 calories, 4 grams of fat and 10 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. Served without brown rice, Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS 7. I can’t wait to hear what you think about this dish…Enjoy!

    Orange chicken is one of a few recipes that tastes too fruity but good too. My friends like it.
