A REALLY good box dinner!

Does anyone else desperately try to find box dinners that are just as good as made from scratch one's?! I have tried just about EVERY box dinner available trying to find one's that are really good, but fast, cheap, and already put together. I recently tried Wanchai Ferry's boxed orange chicken meal just because I had a good coupon for it. I really wasn't expecting much (I really haven't found a REALLY good box dinner until now!), but I made it anyway's and we loved it! So, even though it's not a recipe, I thought I'd share this really good meal. It's pretty easy to make, but you do use quite a few pans in the process. I used 3; one for the rice, one for the chicken, and one for the potstickers I made with them. You can find the Wanchai Ferry Meals in the boxed section of your grocery store. There is also a printable coupon out right now for $1.10 off 1 box here. So, once again sorry this isn't a recipe! I'll try to post a real recipe soon!

Orange Cashew Chicken

If you need something that's not Spanish this is a good change and it's pretty quick! The rice takes the longest. Start it first, then while it's cooking do the chicken!
Orange Cashew Chicken
4 servings

1 lb. bonesless, skinless chicken, cut into 1" cubes
2 med. carrots, sliced
2 Tbls. oil
1/2 c. chopped celery
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 c. honey
1/4 - 1/2 c. salted cashews
2 Tbs. cornstarch
3/4 c. orange juice (can be fresh or from concentrate)
3 Tbs. soy sauce
hot cooked rice

In a large skillet stir fry chicken, carrots, and celery in oil for 8-10 mins. (until juice runs clear.) Reduce heat. Stir in honey until melted all over. In a jar, combine cornstarch, ginger, orange juice & soy sauce. Put lid on tight and shake well. Add to chicken mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cashews. Serve over rice. Yummy!
