It Was a Terrible Success

Tweet

How could anything successful be terrible? If you have been following me, I recently wrote about my trip to Trader Joe's and the fact that the store really did not impress me, as I strongly suspected it wouldn't. Still, I did pick up a couple of items. All said I spent about $35 and $8 of that was on an insulated grocery tote bag. So, it was a trip short on food purchases. But I did buy a bag of Mandarin orange chicken which looked like it would be good. The options to cook it were in the oven, baked. In a skillet. Or in the microwave. I thought, if I can cook it in a skillet, I can surely cook it in the wok. So, that's what I decided to do. Cooked from frozen it cooked up perfectly. I only added in some broccoli for good measure. I have to say, with the sauce packets that came with it, it turned out better than I would have ever expected. It was super flavorful, and the chicken was crispy. I'd give it very high marks in every aspect honestly. I served it over a hot bed of freshly cooked white rice. It was awesome and now I am going to have to go back to get some more. I will likely get three or four bags and put this in the chest freezer downstairs. It was so easy to make and was delicious. What went on your dinner table last night?
