    Orange Ginger Chicken is so simple to make, gluten free and loaded with protein! This Orange Ginger Chicken is so much better than what you will get at an restaurant or takeout.

    This  recipe was originally from my first cookbook, The Everything Wheat-Free Diet Cookbook on page 123 under "Orange Ginger Salmon".  I don't eat salmon so I thought I'd mix it up and make it with chicken. I am SO happy I did because it was fantastic.  I had to alter the instructions a bit because chicken cooks differently than salmon but it was still ridiculously simple.
