Orange Beef (or Chicken)!!

Today I wanted to share my yummy orange beef (or chicken) over rice!  If you aren't a fan of "orange" you can just leave it out and it will still taste amazing!  (I only know this because I forgot to put the orange in one night).  If you are a "prepper", this recipe is easy to prep and store.  Chop all of the veggies and put in a container, mix the sauce together and put in a container and store in fridge.  You could also dice up the chicken or beef ahead of time as well and store.  You need to have the sauce and all the ingredients chopped and ready to go before you start because this is a quick cooking dinner!  Also, get the rice cooking while you sauté all of the ingredients so it's ready to rock and roll!  Ok, enough blabber, here you go!  Enjoy!
