I decided to make Orange Chicken and Kung Pao chicken. YUM. The chicken was only $5 for over 2lbs of chicken. Steal. The Veggies were pretty cheap as well and the sauce I believe was only $3.99. The peanuts were the most expensive part of the meal, at $4.99.
Chop up all the veggies into similar sized chunks. I just eyeballed the amount and figured I'd chop up more if the chicken was too overwhelming. This was actually perfect. I used 1 half of each of the peppers, a few stalks of the green onion, 1 cucumber and a hand full of peanuts.
I made the orange chicken first because this is a super easy quick dish to make. I just took eggs and flour and breaded the chicken. Threw it in a hot pan with EVOO and cooked it. When it was just about cooked I added some green onions and the Panda Express Sauce. Super quick, Super easy, Super YUMM!
Next up was the Kung Pao Chicken. I placed the cut up veggies into a skillet (same one I used for the orange chicken, I washed it don't worry) until the veggies begin to get soft. Remove the veggies and cook up your cut up chicken pieces. 
Once the chicken is cooked add the veggies back into the pan, add your Panda Express Kung Pao Sauce and the peanuts. Heat through!
There you have it! A yummy Chinese food dinner without the expense of a restaurant. I purchased frozen pot stickers and egg rolls from Raleys. Hey it's a work night and I'll take all the help I can get from the store. LOL I also made some plain white rice to go with the meal. I was too lazy to make fried rice. What Chinese dishes do you like to make?

Sounds & looks delicious! I love to make chinese at home. I usually make orange chicken, general tso's, fried rice, crab rangoon, and miso soup! [not all at the same time, of course!]
Nice job! It looks delicious. I hear rumors we might be getting a Winco soon. I hope so! :)
I love Chinese food! Maybe that's what I will have for dinner tonight :)
I like to make my own satay sauce with peanut butter, creamed coconut, and chilli. It's so simple but really tasty.

I love Chinese food! I get the food network magazine and there was an article about stir frys in it. I need to post that recipe one of these days, but basically it told how to make 4 different sauces and how to cook like at a restaurant. I love the sweet and sour and the "brown sauce" which is in a lot of dishes at your average Chinese place! Your meal looks amazing!
