Orange Chicken (Not Really, But Kinda 😅)

👩🏽‍🍳Home Recipe : Pollo Guisado (Stew Chicken 🍗 ) with White Rice 🍚

Quick meal for my growing teenage boys!

They love it so much, they always ask for seconds, and they’ve even nicknamed it “orange chicken” 😂

I make enough so my oldest can take some to school for lunch the next day.

Growing up, my grandma used to serve it with red beans, but my boys aren’t fans, so we skip the beans and keep it simple!

💛 What’s a go-to meal your kids ask for again and again?

This recipe is perfect for busy nights, especially with growing teenagers who often ask for hearty servings.

Homemade Chicken "Taquitos"... kinda 😉
Homemade chicken taquitos - several ways you can make them. This is just one way we tried it. We’re doing buffalo chicken next!  Use whatever kind of tortilla you want - I only like flour tortillas and that's what was on hand and was not about to go to the store… One rotisserie chicken -
