well i found a great recipe. and of course i need to tell all my bloggy friends about it. this is from a book called 'miserly meals'. after the many recent kitchen disasters and nonsense, it was good to have something turn out WELL. and this was good, my friends, as well as cheap.
a few notes: i did not use iceburg lettuce, i used spinach. iceburg lettuce doesn't really have any nutrients, and i can't stand to use it wherever something else will work. i got this from my muum. also, i didn't use mandarin oranges, but i did add some mushrooms and cashews. i also cooked the chicken with a little crushed red pepper. let me know if you tried it!
