Save this one for the kids!

(And yourself too because tbh these are amazing).

Jackson loves orange chicken and specifically the brand @officialpandaexpress 😂 so I tried to create a version I can have at home!

We did use the Panda Express sauce for this recipe but I also have made an orange sauce from scratch as well which is listed below!

Meatball ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken
1 large zucchini, shredded
2 large carrots, shredded
1 cup panko bread cups
1 egg
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper per preference

Directions: Preheat oven to 400F. Mix all ingredients and form into golf ball size on a baking pan. Bake 10 minutes each side until cooked through 165F. Toss in orange sauce!

Orange Sauce Recipe:
1 cup Orange Juice
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar or White Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1/4 teaspoon Ginger
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
Orange Zest from 1 orange
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch

Directions: In a medium pot, add orange juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and red chili flakes. Heat for 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 Tablespoons of water to form a paste. Add to orange sauce and whisk together. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken. Once the sauce is thickened, remove from heat and add orange zest.
