orange-peel chicken & broccoli.

i've gotten pretty good at throwing a meal together in under twenty minutes or less. granted, tonight was easy, but oh so yummy. i saw this meal in the target supermarket a few weeks ago when travis and i were doing a but of browsing.

you can find it in the frozen food section, and the package says it's enough to feed two. {we actually had leftovers.} travis and i both love p.f. chang's so i thought it would be fun to give this a shot.

on my way home from work, i had to stop off for milk and soda. travis had said he wasn't really hungry when i talked to him on the phone, but my lunch at work today was horrible and i. was. starving.

i remembered seeing the meal before, so i popped by the frozen food section, grabbed this little bad boy, and away i went.

i already had a package of steamfresh broccoli in the freezer that was the perfect compliment to the tangy chicken.

i poured the contents of the p.f. chang's bag into a non-stick skillet, turned the heat to medium-high, and covered the skillet with a lid. it only took twelve minutes to cook. halfway through, i turned on the steamfresh broccoli in the microwave and in six little minutes, i had a delicious meal ready to serve.

i added a bit of garlic salt to the broccoli, put some cottage cheese in a bowl, and served up the delicious orange peel chicken.


it wasn't exactly like the restaurant, but it was pretty good. travis thought the orange was a little too strong, but i thought it was delicious. i'll definitely keep it in mind for the future when i need dinner in a hurry.

The amount of chicken on that plate wouldn't feed a bird! If birds ate chicken that is. Which would be kind of disturbing. When you said you had leftovers, I was like....how in the world? Most of the time, Ryan and I split meals like that and are STILL hungry! Lol! Looks yummy.

Oh my gosh; I don't know if I am just slap-happy or what, but your comment just kept cracking me up. Even know, I'm stiffling a giggle in my chest. Hahaha!
