Better than Take-Out Orange Chicken

So, when chicken breasts are $1.99 a pound or less I buy them in bulk.   I cut some up into strips, some into cubes and leave some breasts whole.  I add marinate to some of the bags of chicken before I freeze them.  This way when I need cubed chicken, such as for this dish,…

This is my new wok that I got for Christmas.  I LOVE IT!  Yes, I am shouting.  I also have a large skillet by the same company.  I love that I can take it from stove top to oven.  It has a ceramic base that is easy to keep clean and the food doesn’t stick….
