Easy Whole30 Chinese Orange Chicken: Paleo, Gluten-Free

Image
This easy Whole30 Chinese orange chicken is the best takeout fake-out ever. Sometimes you just need some orange chicken in your life, and this version is much healthier and there’s no delivery fee! It’s also a Paleo orange chicken recipe, which makes it gluten free and made from real ingredients, so you can skip the MSG! In a past life, it was not uncommon of me to order Chinese delivery at least once a week. It was my favorite go-to. I’d almost always order the orange chicken. It still remains one of my favorite flavors. Which is why I knew I needed to figure out how to make it Paleo and Whole30. This Whole30 Chinese orange chicken obviously isn’t the real thing, but, I will say, it’s a really great takeout fake-out.

Chicken Pot Pie made easy! We love this Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie with pre-made biscuits, it’s a delicious fast way to get dinner on the table. Chicken Pot Pie is one of the best comfort foods around.

Are you a fan of the rotisserie chicken? I totally am! Sometimes I’ll pick up two, shred both of them and then just freeze one. It’s always nice to have on hand, especially for recipes like this. So here’s the thing…my first attempt with this recipe, the biscuits did not fully cook. The top half did, but the bottom half of the biscuits were still dough-y.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas are rich, creamy and easy to make!  Tender juicy chicken, onion and loads of cheese are wrapped in flour tortillas and smothered in a simple homemade sour cream sauce, topped with cheese and baked until brown and bubbly! Originally published April 6, 2014. Now updated with re-edited text and photos. Instructions were are also reworded to clarify points. I’m a Mexican food hound… meaning I love it ALL. But a lot of my Mexican cooking tastes similar because I love the taste. I’ll call it spicy taco-ish. And most of my chicken dishes have some of that red chili taste, also. This is a different good. Very good but not the “kicktail” Mexican I’m known for and not spicy. Based on a geniouskitchen.com recipe Simple Sour Cream Enchiladas but I don’t know the origin since essentially the same recipe appears in many places. The geniouskitchen.com version is from 2005 but I found one all the way back to 2001, but is just a posted recipe on a board so who
