Orange Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry
"This chicken and veggie stir-fry satisfies even the biggest craving for takeout. It's also really easy and quick to make. This stir fry is packed with broccoli, asparagus and plenty of juicy chicken. You can use light or dark meat chicken for this, but I prefer chicken thigh meat which is more flavorful and tender...."
