My oldest Grandson Loves Panda Express "Orange Chicken". I tried this once when we had company coming from out of town as a tribute to My oldest Grandson (since I was doing a girls weekend with my oldest granddaughter). It is a good receip to double/trible. I cut back a bit on the red peppers if it's for kids. Everyone liked it and asked for the recipe. Here it is -from Grandma Shirley
