We liked this recipe and would definitely make it again for a quick weeknight dinner. The flavors blended together well and it wasn't cloyingly sweet. MiseEnPlace San Ramon CA
Love.. love... love... I'm always pressed for time after I get off work and running errands after but wanting a good meal rather than something generic like frozen pizza.. real tasty and cheap!
A good recipe to start with but needs some heat -- I am going to add a few drops of chili oil next time.
I made this for dinner tonight and loved it! I did however change the recipe just a bit. Instead of orange marmalade I used apricot preserves and the juice of an orange. (all the jars of orange marmalade at my local grocer had high fructose corn syrup in them... yuck!) I also added oregano a teaspoon of honey and a touch of raw sugar to the mixture. Right before I added the chicken to the thickened sauce I added three minced garlic cloves. I let the chicken cook in the sauce for about five extra minutes. My picky eater boyfriend and I loved it!

Easy to make but not an exciting dish I followed this recipe as is and thought it was good though a little bland. I was expecting more of an orange flavor to be honest. I had no problems getting the sauce to thicken with 1 tsp of cornstarch as stated in the recipe and thought it coated the chicken really nicely. I can definitely see this as a good starting point though with some tweaking.:)
I made the recipe exactly as stated except I used chicken breasts instead of tenders because I happened to have them in the house. For a very low fat low calorie recipe my boyfriend and I both really liked it and I would definitely make it again. It is also quick. I am on weight watchers and a lot of the eating well recipes well MOST of them are perfect for use on any health or weight loss program. I get so sick of eating plain grilled chicken or fish. This was very flavorful - we ate it with couscous.....and vegetables.
Very easy recipe to make and flavor was delightful. Would definitely make again! Jan McManus Largo FL
I made only two changes to this recipe and it was perfect! Very very tasty meal and easy to make. However I wasn't a fan of the sauce the first time. I found it too watery. The second time I made it I did two teaspoons of cornstarch instead of one and the sauce was perfect! Nicer thicker consistency. I also microwaved a sweet potato for 10 min. /- depending on the size of it cut it up and added it to the recipe and it was MMMMMMMMMMM. Sweet potato and orange go so well together. Pros: Easy to make very tasty. Cons: Thin sauce but I fixed that.
Very good but a few changes needed After making this I'm going to change the following: 1. 1/4 Cup Orange Marmalade 2. 1 Tablespoon dijon 3. 1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch As is the sauce is a bit too runny and doesn't spoon out well over the chicken. It could also use a wee bit more flavor (I didn't include the shallots because my B/F can't do onions) so I'm going to beef up the marmalade dijon and cornstarch to hopefully resolve this issue. Quite a nice dish! I'm looking forward to trying it with the adjustments! Pros: Relatively simple and quite flavorful Cons: Sauce is too runny as is
