A new recipe, that is actually healthy for you, and tastes amazing. Yup. I've got it right here. If you like lemon and orange chicken from Chinese restaurants you will love this, I promise. It is so easy I think it actually takes less time than ordering in, or buying those pre-made packages in the grocery store.
For some reason I thought that Honey Lime Chicken would be a Mexican tasting dish, I don't know why, especially with Soy Sauce right there in the ingredients, but I did. So I made a modified Mexican rice to go with it. That was not so tasty, Mexican rice and a sweet tart oriental chicken... never a good thing. Oh well.

DD's notes ~ If I were to make this again I would either serve it with plain rice or over rice noodles. I would serve a green veggies stir fry with it, snow peas, broccoli, bell pepper, and green onions.
