Honey Orange Chicken

Honey Orange Chicken
This dish is elegant enough for company and tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. With five children to keep up with, I look for recipes that are easy to prepare. They love this chicken and pasta meal, with its honey orange sauce. I use citrus fruits and juices often in cooking since citrus is plentiful here in Southern California.
