Tilapia or Chicken with Spicy Orange Cherry Sauce
PREP NOTES: Next time I'm going to make this, I plan to add some things to my prep day. I'd dice up all the veggies ahead of time and store them in ziplock bags labelled for different recipes. Then all I'd have to do is toss them in the skillet on the cooking day. It would also contain all the mess of chopping veggies to ONE day.
VERDICT: OMG. Not even joking. I sounded like my husband usually does when he finds food beyond extremely delicious. I can not even begin to find the right words to convey the deliciousness of the rice/sauce combo. See "what I'd do differently" below for other ideas.
