Orange slices add a refreshing twist to tender, juicy baked chicken-a wonderful meal for company. The appealing glaze coats the poultry with tangy sweetness. —Lorri Cleveland, Kingsville, Ohio

This was super bland and not very good... I halved the chicken and kept the same amount of everything else and it was still super bland. If you're looking for a bold flavor, this is not it. Will not make again.

This is an easy and elegant dish. I used boneless chicken breasts so reduced the cooking time to 25 minutes before the sauce and 15 minutes after.

My husband and I like spicy food, so I added a tablespoon of finely diced jalapeno peppers to the sauce... fantastic!

It really does taste like Orange. I use boneless breasts though and I also prefer to use Low-sodium soy sauce. The best thing about this recipe is that it looks like more work than it is. It is very easy and super flavorful. LOVE it.

Not only did this recipe bring the flavor of the orange through out the chicken, but the gravy was amazing I even had great reviews from the children who loved the additional orange slices with their dinner!
