This time of year may be overflowing with chaos, but having easy yet delicious meals like this on hand – makes the daily grind a little smoother. And in this case, a tad sweeter too. If you like the sounds of this recipe, why not try this One-Pan Maple Mustard Chicken?

These past couple months have been a whirlwind with back to school and the reintroduction of activities and appointments. The biggest change in routine for me, was trying to adapt from the lazy days of summer, to trying to get dinner on the table some nights.

Not only is this One-Pan Orange Chicken a 30-Minute Easy Dinner, yet it's one that requires few ingredients.

Before meals were created and enjoyed at leisure, with no time pressure. Now theres at least three days per week which leave 30 minutes to get dinner on the table.

When I stumbled on this One-Pan Orange Chicken recipe, I almost passed it over. It wasn’t a typical go-to combination for me, and in the past I’d settle for a old favourite rather than risk trying something so new.

Yet curiosity got the better of me, and one night I made One-Pan Orange Chicken. This only reaffirmed how much my stubbornness makes me so frustratingly narrow minded sometimes. This dish is pretty good!
