I don’t know about you, but this week has been c r a w l i n g by. For some reason I keep thinking today is Wednesday, when in reality its only Tuesday… Don’t you hate when that happens? I sure do! Anyways, if your week seems to be inch worming by the way mine is and you want something to look forward to, check out my skinny orange chicken recipe! Yes, the title says it all… SKINNY! This recipe allows your tastebuds to enjoy the satisfaction of one of the most popular Asian dishes, but with a THIRD of the calories so your waistline can rejoice!
If you’re confused by the title “skinny orange chicken (or tofu)” and are wondering if this dish is vegetarian friendly the answer is YES! I would never let my fellow veggies down! 😉 You can definitely sub the chicken for tofu. The directions are included in the recipe below. Just remember, if you’re cooking half chicken and half tofu, be sure to cook the TOFU FIRST to avoid cross contamination. (I sound like my mother!)
This recipe makes about 4 servings and can be stored for 4-5 days in an airtight container. If you’re trying to be on your best healthy-eating behavior at the office, you should highly consider bringing your leftovers to work to enjoy for lunch. I bring my lunch to work 99% of the time not only because its cheaper for me since I go to the grocery store on a regular basis, but it helps me maintain my healthy eating habits. What’s that you say? Someone is catering greasy pizza down the hall? No thanks, I’ll enjoy my skinny orange chicken (or tofu) bowl!
