I was a bit disappointed in the flavor of this recipe...with all the orange used I thought you would really taste it...but we didn't...I did squeeze some of the orange slices on my chicken while eating it and that helped...but by itself the orange flavor wasn't there...the chicken did come out very moist which I loved...this was easy to prepare and the presentation was wonderful...made for Fall PAC 2012
