This was quite good. I would have liked more chicken (about double) because there was a ton of sauce and it was pretty overwhelming on the rice. It was good but next time I would add more chicken or some veggies. Made for Went to Market Tag. Thanks!

Easy - 5 stars, chicken - 5 stars, sauce alone - 4 stars. Made as directed, except used a little less chicken than 3 cups. The sauce is definitely orange in flavor and had a bit of a "bite" when by itself. The chicken is very tender. I think next time I make it I will add some red pepper for a bit more of a kick. Thanks for posting! Made for Potluck Tag Game.

very good, I also sauteed fresh garlic when cooking the chicken and also added in some crushed chili flakes for heat, I used 3 large chicken breasts and that seemed to work fine, my DH really enjoyed theis, thanks Syd!

What an interesting flavor the orange juice brought to this dish. I normally am not too keen on fruit flavors with my meat, but I did like this dish a lot. I didnt add any salt to used low sodium soy sauce. I served this with brown rice for an excellent meal.
