     I made the orange chicken yesterday, and it was awesome! I love different spices, but I'm not very good with integrating flavors. Thanks for the recipe. My family enjoyed our new dish. - 1/22/09

     The meal was very good. The flavor of the salad did appear much stronger prior to cooking though, I wonder how the meal would have tasted without cooking the salad, and mixing the cooked meat with the veggies. - 8/28/10

     It is delicious. I just left the chicken all night without the vegetables and the meat got a very nice taste... try it! - 9/14/09

     Um....this had a really awful after taste, and no initial taste. I love orange chicken, and I was very disappointed that this version was bad. I served it over brown rice. - 2/17/09

     This is a family favorite...even all 5 kids love it! I've made it multiple times and it is juicy and delicious every time! The ginger and orange juice mixed with the spices gives it it's own unique flavor that tastes like no other chicken recipe! - 2/14/09

     This is a fantastic recipe! The only thing I will do differently is next time I will cut the chicken into chunks before putting it into the dish. I will definitely be making this again!! - 2/7/09

     This was just OK. I definitely felt like I was eating diet food, there was nothing creamy, rich or fake-sinfulness. The vegetables were good cooked. I added brown rice as a side. The chicken was moist but not very flavorful. The blend of spices was a bit bizarre to me. - 2/1/09

     This recipe is not bad. I can't be to harsh a judge because I didn't follow the recipe completely. First, I doubled the recipe and marinaded the chicken in the spices, OJ, and garlic for a couple of hours before pouring it all in a pan and adding the vegatables. I also added broccoli. - 2/1/09

     When I started to prepare the meal, I didn't know how to put the ingredients in the dish. I followed the order of the ingredient list. I ended up with a spice rub on the chicken. Next time, I would put the spinach on the bottom & maybe mix the liquid & spice. But it was delicious the 1st way too! - 1/28/09

     Honestly, there were just waaaay too many flavors going on at once. The garlic and onion clash with everything, there is too much salt...I didn't taste any orange. It tasted okay, but I tried it using only the veggies (minus onion), chicken, juice, and just the dill and it was MUCH better. - 1/27/09

     One meal that has most of my daily salt intake is not good. Lets try to make food without killing ourselves.
    Remove the salt - 1/27/09

     I tried to double the recipe but had difficulty with the spices so it did not turn out right and the spices were too strong even thuogh I did not fully double them ..Anyone else have luck with doubling the recipe? Thanks - 1/26/09

     sounds fab! - 1/26/09

     Not to be mean but I thought this was horrible - 1/25/09
  • JOYCE1233
     I am new at this but all the great comments have encouraged me to try something new. Sounds great! - 1/24/09

     As promised, a very moist chicken with nice flavours. I loved the spinach in it but we found the onions did not enhance the flavour so next time I would leave them out (I love onions usually). Easy to prepare. Delicious cold as leftovers in sandwhiches. - 1/24/09

     I added some broccoli crowns and when I took the aluminum foil off, I put orange slices on the chicken. I liked this recipe and so did my wife. - 1/22/09
  • AWOLF24
     This was very good. The spinach, carrots and onions make a side-dish all of their own. I'll definitely make this again. - 1/21/09
  • DAISYDOG166
     I'm a little leery about the combination of ingredients but from the comments I'll be brave and try it. Thanks for the idea. - 1/21/09
  • TUCKING
     This was very tasty! I doubled the sauce and cooked 6 chicken breasts in it and it turned out great and the next day cooked some pasta and added it to the left overs and it was great yet again! Thanks for a tasty, healthy chicken entre! ;o) - 1/19/09
  • MITTENCHOPS
     This looks delicious, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how 1/2 of a chicken breast and those vegetables could come to 357 calories. Any chance that calorie total is for the whole recipe? - 1/19/09
  • WANDASDIET
     this sounds great and I think I will add a touch of orange zest for that extra orange flavour. thank you for sharing. - 1/18/09
  • MOTIVATEDMOMMY
     This looks good! just wondering if I should mix the OJ, oil and spices together and then pour over the other ingredients in the pan? thanks! - 1/18/09
