Re: Mandarin Orange Chicken
I actually have all of the ingredients for this on hand. I love when that happens. This will be my dinner for tonight. I'm currently at work. The dinner mystery has been solved. Have a wonderful day!

Re: Mandarin Orange Chicken
Made this yesterday and thought it was pretty good. I think it would be good for when I'm craving Chinese food.
