Baked Orange Chicken

This is a healthy recipe for orange chicken. If you enjoy it from a Chinese restaurant, make it instead! While I have never had orange chicken from a Chinese restaurant, I thought this turned out very good. I have made a similar version of this in the past. You can definitely taste the orange in this recipe.
