I’ve made this twice now.  It is so easy and we all love it.  The taste is similar to sweet and sour chicken, but it has a little bit of kick from red pepper flakes in the sauce.

It’s a complete cheater meal, making use of several convenience items.  That means this meal can be fixed in just about 15 minutes.  Faster than grabbing food at a restaurant.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 bag frozen popcorn chicken
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • vegetable oil
  • 1-1 1/2 cups Orange Sauce – I used Panda Express bought from Walmart
  • cooked rice, not in photo

Put the popcorn chicken in the oven and bake according to the package directions.

Cook the onion and green pepper in a skillet with a little vegetable oil.  Cook until tender-crisp.  Pour in 1 to 1 1/2 cups of orange sauce.  Add the chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.  Serve over rice.

  • Tiffany this is excellent. Dinner was done in the amount of time it too to cook the rice.

    You could easily swap the orange sauce for sweet and sour.

    More cheater meals!!! This was awesome.

  • Tiffany,
    I wish I had a recipe with soy sauce to add to the list. What a great recipe! I can’t wait to try it out and the pictures are great too! Thanks for sharing.

  • You could make single servings of this, and add more veggies. I think it would be healthier than what you get from a take-out restaurant.
    Thanks for the recipe!
