Zippy Orange Chicken Recipe

my husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes and he is not really a 'chicken' person unless it is kfc. i have been trying new recipes and when i served this dish, it was a hit. he really, really liked it. i served it with crispy potato skins, some sliced tomatoes and a slice of watermelon and what a fabulous meal.
