When I saw this Orange Cashew Chicken Recipe I thought I would give it a try; because the addition of the cashews in the recipe sounded really good. This recipe is really heavy on the orange flavoring which could be cut back by reducing the amount of orange sections used in the recipe, or even eliminating them. This is a simple recipe that is quick to prepare and doesn’t require a lot of ingredients.
If you looking for something different in an orange chicken recipe, give this one a try; it’s really good. Enjoy
