“I love this recipe and make it frequently. I add vegetables for crunch (broccoli, carrots, bell peppers) and often substitute tofu or shrimp for chicken. For the tofu I dust it in cornstarch and stir fry it first. The I add it back with the sauce at the end.” — a cook, 5.0★

“This evening I made the Skinnytaste "Healthy Orange Chicken." Delicious! The only thing I changed was to add red pepper and onion to make it a one pan meal. My husband liked it too so I will definitely be making this meal again.” — a cook, 5.0★
