The chicken was tender and perfect...I put it on top of teriyaki rice from the asian sides from lipton knorr and they paired together perfectly...I didn't use the orange slices or the parsley because I didn't have it but I do keep gingerroot in the freezer and added a generous helping to the sauce and the top of the chicken when it was done. Great recipes. My husband couldn't stop talking about it for hours!

This has become a blessing when I'm called upon to do a hot dish for a pot luck dinner. It is simple to make when time is at a premium, and travels well to the venue. I've had nothing but favorable comments about it, and requests to pass along the recipe. I usually quarter the portions before cooking and double or triple the recipe for such an occasion. Thanks Barb, for sharing it.

I made this last night for dinner. It was very easy to put together and the sauce was wonderful. However, I didn't really care for the appearance of the chicken. My preference is to have it look more baked. But thanks for posting, I'll probably use the sauce again !

What a delicious chicken dish! My sister-in-law came to stay with us for a few days and I tried this for the first time.I used the juice of a real orange along with a bit of zest and real sugar. I didn't garnish either because I didn't have any parsley on hand. I served the chicken with some flavored rice and corn...everything was excellent. Now, everytime I see my sister-in-law, she starts talking about this chicken! Thanks, Barb!

This was so simple to prepare and was delicious! I had to substitute ground ginger, but don't see how it could have been better.
