This just wasn't as flavorful as I expected.

Yumo! I used chicken thighs and baked them in the oven. Basted them with the orange mixture. I'll be making this recipe often.

I halved the recipe, but only used two boneless chickens for my husband and I.

Worked great and easy enough for camping.

I put the ingredients together in a small freezer baggie, put in fridge and heated up in the microwave.

Oh yummy! Easy, fast, and delicious! I used chicken tenderloins and cooked on my electric skillet. I did not use the orange peel bc I didn't have one. Served with wild rice and roasted cajun zucchini. I will make this again and again!

We really liked this chicken! Even my 2 yr old loved it. We made it without the orange peel, as I didn't have any, but still liked it a lot. We'll definitely be making this again!
