Outstanding! Anyone who likes a sweet sauce (with a mere hint of bitterness) for chicken will love this. Served with noodles and peas. A lovely combination.

This is the recipe to use when you want to make an ordinary supper an 'occasion'. It truly couldn't be any easier. It also cooks away as you're preparing your vegetables. Loved the glaze. I did cut down a bit on the marmalade, only because it was the end of the jar and I was too lazy to go and get another out of storage. :roll: The meat was tender and juicy and went very well with Recipe #61353. Thanks for posting such a great recipe. Made for the Auzzie/NZ Recipe Swap #26

I made this without the egg and breadcrumbs and it was still delicious.

This is a really tasty chicken dish, & I enjoyed making it! Easy & tasty ~ What more could one want! I did sub Triple Sec for the Grand Marnier, 'cause that usually is the orange kind of thing I have on hand! The citrus & marmalade did a very nice number of the breasts! Thanks for sharing your recipe! [Made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #16]
