Orange Chicken

Thursday was the Chinese New Year.  We are currently in the year of the rabbit.  Anyway, I decided it would be appropriate to have Chinese type meal for supper to "celebrate" the new year.  Since it had been on the menu for the previous week but had not been made, I decided to make it.  It is what Rachael Ray describes as being a "fake out" meal and also a "make your own take out."   The end result looks fancy but it really is simple to make.  Also since it's a "make your own take out meal,"  you can control what's in it.
