A very tasty recipe. My husband says it was worth the time preparing it. In fact, my whole family enjoyed this dish. We served it with rice and steamed carrots and broccoli.

Love, love, love this chicken dish! Its so easy to do and very tasty. I have made it for two parties I have gone to and each time someone has asked for the recipe.

Loved this! We love sweet sauces with our chicken so this was a winner! One big change we made though: we are vegetarian so we substituted vegetarian "mock" chicken cutlets by Quorn for the chicken and it turned out great. I also had to substitute 2 cups of orange juice for the concentrate because we live in the UK and can't get frozen OJ here. It took a little longer for the sauce to reduce but it was ok - I cheated and added a little cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Thank you so much for posting this recipe, we loved it.

This is a good recipe, but it makes the chicken taste very sweet, which was something that we didn't care for. I probably won't make this again, but if you like sweet tastes you should try it at least once.
