  1. This is a lovely little repice. Quite delicious. However I recommend you cook the chicken breasts slowly and don't add the honey glaze until the last 4 to 5 minutes of cooking as it burns very quickly. Keping that in mind, Please try this quick and easy recipe. :)
     
  2. Made this recipe last night. It came out very well. It was a little on the sweet side..but then again I could not find red pepper flakes and substituted ground red pepper. next time I will add more of the red pepper, and more garlic. I was afraid to use too much! Hubby is just getting used to me cooking things with a little kick! Will definitely make again! Made extra sauce to put over steamed rice, and served with fresh spinach.
     
  3. This was a delicious recipe but a bit on the spicy side (which is surprising, as I love spicy food!). I had 8 chicken breasts, which is double what is called for, and I wanted to take other reviewers' advice and make double the sauce, so I ended up quadrupling the sauce recipe. The only thing I should not have quadrupled was the red pepper flakes. Next time I make this, I'll halve the amount of red pepper flakes. All other modifications I made ended up turning out very well: using olive oil instead of vegetable oil, orange juice in lieu of frozen OJ concentrate, halving the margarine amount, and using 3 cloves of garlic instead of just 1. The flavor of this recipe is great, and I'll definitely be making it again!
     
  4. Great, easy to make. We had all the ingredients on hand. Keep in mind it's a glaze, so it's thin and clear. Tasty, sweet and spicy. Made it with white rice and veggies.
     
  5. So sorry to ruin the star rating, but this was just okay for us. It wasn't too spicy or too sweet - we just didn't like the combination of flavors with the chicken. It was certainly not bad! It just wasn't one of our favorites and probably will not be made again in our house. Thanks anyway for sharing the recipe! :)

Tweaks

  1. Switched out the concentrate for 1/2 cup of fresh squeezed OJ. Switched out the corn starch with flour, by dredging the dry breasts. Also skipped the pepper flakes, and added 1/2 tsp cayenne instead. Added 1/2 cup orange marmalade. Got raves!

  3. This recipe couldn't be easier or more delicious! Instead of veg. oil I just used an extra tbsp. of butter. I zested a whole orange and used the juice of that orange instead of concentrate. Served over rice with some bread to sop up the extra sauce, very satisfying!
     
  4. This was really yummy! I used 2T of fresh orange juice instead of frozen orange juice and added 2T of soy sauce. Served w/grilled onions, yellow and orange bell peppers, and broccoli.
     
  5. Mine was great! I added a little dry white wine towards the end of cooking time to deglaze the pan, so obviously it was less glazy and more saucy, but my whole family loved it. I also used fresh squeezed orange juice instead of concentrate, added more red pepper flakes, and an extra clove of garlic. I added 1 head of broccoli when I added the honey mixture and served it all over rice. Yumm!
