This was pretty good. Made with already trimmed, thin chicken breasts and it turned out pretty nicely. We used red pepper flakes with the seeds to give it some kick and it sure worked. Thanks!

This was really good. I love the mix of orange and honey with the chicken. It all went so well together. The only thing was that, due to my oven, I had to bake it for a little bit longer. But it had no effect on the taste of the chicken.

This is quite nice. Next time I make it I will decrease the orange juice and add another shake of red pepper flakes. The chicken was moist and nice. I served it with rice and the sauce was good with the rice. A very good meal for Weight Watchers--5 points. Thank you for your recipe, Katie.

Awesome flavour, almost too easy, and healthy too... wow, who knew? Made exactly as stated. The only caution I think needs mentioning is to watch the chicken carefully near the end as some of the sauce started to burn in the dish. But luckily we caught it in time to still have the rest of the delicious sauce on our rice! Loved by all.
