People are cooking at home now more than ever. California is under a Stay at Home order due to COVID-19. We are still able to shop at grocery stores for our essentials and pick up take out from our local restaurants that are open. There is a lot going on and I’m finding comfort in cooking and being home with my family. I know you all loved these Orange Chicken Bowls With Cilantro Lime Rice, so I’m bringing you a new Easy Orange Chicken with Rice Noodles recipe that you can adjust as needed with ingredients on hand. A big thanks to Crazy Cuizine for sponsoring this post. This recipe is awesome because it uses frozen and staple items you may already have at home! 

Easy Orange Chicken with Rice Noodles

The first thing you’ll want to do is boil a pot of water for the rice noodles. Next, heat up the Crazy Cuizine Mandarin Orange Chicken. Add olive oil to a pan and sauté for 18 minutes. While this is cooking, you can prepare the other items (below). To finish the orange chicken, add the sauce pack and combine for one minute.

Crazy Cuizine Mandarin Orange Chicken is available in Costco stores nationwide in a 66-oz. box that’s the perfect size for busy families or meal prepping.

I picked up the Thai Kitchen Rice Noodles at Costco. This is a large bag, so I used about 10oz (or two handfuls). Boil the noodles according to the package instructions. You could use any noodles you have for this recipe. 

Next, quarter the baby carrots lengthwise, or slice regular carrots into thin pieces. If you don’t have carrots, you can use bell peppers, broccoli or cauliflower. Then thinly chop your kale. If you don’t have kale, you can use spinach or any other thick greens. Grab the full recipe below!
