Sweet and Spicy Chicken Orange Stir-Fry
Imagine a breezy, vibrant stir‑fry that balances comfort and excitement in one skillet. Tender shredded chicken dives into a lively mix of crisp snow peas and juicy mandarin orange slices, while a lively blend of sweet chili, soy, sherry, ginger, and rice wine vinegar layers on both zing and warmth—bright, tangy, and just spicy enough. Topped with crunchy sliced almonds, this dish brings an Asian fusion feel to your plate—bright, fresh, and oh-so-satisfying. It’s the kind of weeknight wonder that comes together in about 15 minutes and serves up both style and flavor.
