My daughter loves orange chicken. However, traditional orange chicken is breaded in wheat flour and the sauce contains soy. I modified my old recipe and came up with gluten and soy free orange chicken tenders. They were quite delicious despite not having coconut aminos as a soy sauce replacement.

  1. As leftovers, these make an amazing protein addition to salad and as a dressing, especially after the sauce has had time for the flavors to meld.
