This Tangy Take On A Chinese Dish Is The Perfect Healthy Dinner Idea: Orange Chicken & Rice

Zesty Orange Chicken & Basmati Rice
Orange chicken is an extremely popular dish that's inspired by Chinese cuisine. Its secret? The tangy sauce that coats each piece of chicken is definitely what gives orange chicken its unbeatable taste! Between the soy sauce, fresh orange juice, sweet honey, and tangy ginger, this dish is absolutely bursting with flavor! On top of all that, to add a little extra kick, we're baking the basmati rice together with some orange peels to make the special citrusy flavor really pop! Flavorful, well-balanced, and absolutely delicious - this dish is a must-try!
Ingredients:
For the orange rice:
- 3 cups basmati rice
