G-Free Orange Chicken (my take on chinese) (soy free)
By: Theresa Skolen
This is my take on an orange chicken chinese dish without using soy sauce. Awesome! [Gluten Freeville note: Theresa's version is unbattered, but if you want to make it in a batter first, I would use rice flour, corn starch or GF All purpose flour in step one to coat the chicken before cooking]

- Once the chicken, onions, and mushrooms are cooked, spoon them into the sauce leaving the left over butter in frying pan. (the extra butter can make the sauce a little to runny.) simmer on low for 3 minutes until chicken is fully coated.
