When life gives you lemons…make Orange Chicken?
Okay so life hasn’t really handed me lemons, but it sounded good. I wasn’t feeling up to making the Sweet Sour Chicken I had planned for today so I gave in and decided to make something quick and easy from the freezer. Or rather, direct someone else to make it.
P.F. Chang’s Home Menu Meals for 2: Orange Chicken + Ajinamoto: Chow Mein.
12 minutes in a pan warms up the chicken, veggies, and sauce cubes
+ 3 minutes in the microwave warms up a double serving of noodles and veggies.
= 12 minutes for a full lunch on the table
It wasn’t bad for a quick frozen meal. Better than most. Flavor on the chicken was good and we rather like the chow mein noodles.
Calorie Count?
300 calories for 1/3 of the bag of Chicken
+ 230 calories for 1/2 a bag of Noodles
= 530 Calories
Cost to feed the three of us?
$5.00 for Chicken
+ $2.50 for Noodles
= $7.50
Letting someone else cook, while keeping a somewhat decent calorie count, without leaving the house? Priceless!
