Orange Peel Shrimp (or chicken)

This was both easy and delicious. I had orange peel shrimp at PF Changs the other night and then came home talking about it. So I was surprised when the bottle of Yoshida's marinade sauce had a recipe for orange peel chicken. I followed it and it was perfect!


Prepare the orange peel marinade.
1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
the zest of one orange
1 cup of yoshida's marinade sauce

I did double this so that I would have it for both the chicken and the shrimp.

I marinated 4 raw chicken breasts in this for about a half an hour and then baked it at 350 for 30 minutes. I sliced the chicken into strips.

In a saucepan, I sauteed a bunch of frozen vegetables (from the costco stir fry bag) in just the Yoshida sauce. Once they were cooked I added the shrimp (which was already cooked and soaking in the orange marinade) to the pan to just warm it up.


Then I served it all over rice.

Chicken Enchilada Soup

This was seriously good. Lillian had been telling me how good Trader Joe's Enchilada sauce was and so I bought it. But I didn't really feel like making enchiladas. So I came up with this.


4 cans chicken broth
1 bottle Trader Joe's Enchilada Sauce
1 zuchinni diced
1 carrot diced
1 cup frozen corn
1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1-2 cups cooked diced chicken breast

Simmer until the veggies are soft. Serve with strips of flour tortillas, grated cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, sour cream, avocado, and chips!
