So… I happened to be down with the little flu this week so I overstocked on the oranges lol. I know, you’re supposed to be having it before you even get the flu but I’m more of a apple slash pineapple slash grape kinda person that I don’t usually eat those oranges!
So guess what I did with those extra oranges? Turn it into a meal! It’s super simple this one, plus it gives your usual fried rice a little twist and variety. I used basmati rice in this, popped in some awesome chicken breast, used some natural marmalade (please read the labels folks!) and tossed in some extra veggies…
And booooommmm! 3 super easy meal prep in 20 minutes! You’re gonna love this one if you love anything sweet and sour!
Give it a try, and tag me on your socials @asianmealprep if you made it! All the best!
