Healthy Vegan Orange Chicken
I made orange chicken for the first time on the blog almost nine years ago. It was my first time making a successful Asian inspired dish at home and I was hooked. I was a huge fan of general tso chicken, and I have yet to master that recipe. However, a win is a win, and I totally stumbled upon the best ever organ chicken recipe. When I stopped eating meat. I knew I would totally miss making an orange kitchen at home. It's been almost nine years, and it's finally back on rotation in my home with a twist. This recipe is a healthy alternative to my old recipe, and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
Are you a fan of orange chicken?

To be honest, I had to look up coconut aminos. LOL But this recipe looks really good. Thanks for sharing.
