I used reduced sodium soy sauce, and this recipe was still too salty for my tastes. I will make again and omit the 1/2 tsp salt. Also thought the flavor of the rice with half the marinade was too strong, so will substitute half of it with water as another reviewer suggested. Loved that it was one dish, easy to pull together, few ingredients, and relatively healthy (minus the added salt). The chicken flavor was perfect and I think would make a great grilling marinade. Overall, something I will make again with these modifications.

I made this recipe this evening for the two of us. I marinated the chicken over night and followed the recipe. I thought the chicken was too sweet and tasted too much orange juice. It was also very dry with the rice and not a creamy mixture, that I was hoping for. I sprinkled shredded cheese over the mixture when I added the broccoli, but it didn't do much, but it looked good, but fair. I would not make this recipe again.

rediculous amount of sodium in recipe

This is a lovely meal, serve it to company! If you are concerned with sodium, use lite soy and omit salt from recipe. I, however, made the recipe just as it was written, and everyone, family and guests alike, loved it!!! Will certainly add this to my recipe collection!

I would make this recipe again with 1/2 the marinade. This recipe as written has WAY to much SODIUM. how can you possibly say it is healthy? decrease the soy and make it light soy - omit the salt...let the flavor of the orange juice, ginger and garlic come thru.

This recipe is not healthy for those who need to watch their sodium intake. The sodium content is much too high - 75% of the RDA (2300 mg). With that much soy sauce, you don' t need to add additional salt.

I'd skip the salt altogether, and use low-sodium soy sauce, and add more ginger if it tasted bland.

I love this meal! I have made it for just myself and my husband, and make it for dinner parties on a regular basis.

I made 1/2 the marindae recipe for 2 chicken breasts and used 3 cups of cooked basmati rice rather than the 1 c. of uncooked instant rice. I marinaded the chicken in 1/2 the marinade and use the other half in the rice.
